Réserve de Pichon Comtesse 2021
€64.00
The 2021 Réserve de la Comtesse is a seriously great wine in its peer group. Or any peer group. Rich and layered, with no hard edges and compelling balance, the 2021 opens beautifully in the glass. Savory accents run through a core of black cherry and plum fruit, with hints of gravel, spice and leather that develop later. This year’s blend includes 14% reserve wine, but that is not especially evident. I don’t think I have ever tasted a more refined Réserve de la Comtesse. Superb.
Drink 2026 – 2036
64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot
90/100 Decanter: “Perfumed blackcurrants on the nose and palate – juicy and succulent, the tannins are mouthfilling and have a cool blue fruit flavor, almost blueberry and plum, fresh with a softly fleshy texture. Lovely depth on the mid-palate, it doesn’t let up – going from start to finish with gusto. You also get liquorice, clove tones – dark spiced aspects but they’re integrated and don’t cause angles just nuances in terms of flavor. You’ve definitely got the Pauillac power and concentration but also an energy that is so captivating. A confident second wine that has direction. (2024 – 2034) “
