Critics’ scores
Neal Martin (Vinous) awarded the wine a barrel rating of 96-98, calling it a ‘very suave’ Pichon Comtesse that will ‘age with style.’ He underscores the ‘subtle bouquet’ that ‘unfurls in the glass,’ highlighting the achievement of the winemakers despite losing one-third of the harvest to drought.
‘Tightly wound, with impressive tension,’ wrote Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Independent), who scored the wine at 98-100. She notes the aromas that ‘waltz out of the glass,’ contributing to a ‘seamless freshness’ on the palate and finish.
William Kelley (Wine Advocate) scored it at a 97-99, comparing this year’s Pichon Comtesse to the ‘magical 1982,’ due in large part to a ‘long, expansive and beautifully perfumed finish.’
