A château renowned for its elegance and precision, Pichon Lalande has long been a defining name in Pauillac, crafting wines that balance power with finesse. The 2012 vintage, shaped by a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend, opens with an inviting nose of blackcurrant, violets, and graphite, accented by cedar, cigar box, and a touch of dark chocolate. The palate is silky yet structured, with finely grained tannins supporting a core of ripe cassis, plum, and subtle spice, leading to a long, poised finish. A wine of graceful intensity, already showing remarkable harmony but with the depth to evolve beautifully in the coming years.
- The 2012 Pichon-Lalande has a rather musky bouquet at first, juniper and mint infusing the black fruit, not quite translating the essence of Pauillac as well as others, though still attractive. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and silky smooth. There is a veneer of high quality oak here, quite plush on the finish yet at the same time, nicely controlled. Good potential, though I would like to see improvement aromatically. Tasted twice at Bordeaux Index's Ten Year-On tasting and blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting.
