Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Reserve de la Comtesse 2020 Pauillac :
Composed of 47% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot, the 2020 Reserve de la Comtesse is redolent of cassis, redcurrant jelly and raspberry coulis, plus suggestions of chocolate box, lilacs and stewed tea, with a waft of unsmoked cigars. The medium-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating, juicy black fruits with a soft texture and seamless freshness, finishing long with a spicy kick. This is a very different style from the grand vin, possessing a more playful, upfront and effortlessly delicious character that truly draws you in!
Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande:
The 2020 Réserve de Pichon Comtesse is very harmonious on the nose, featuring plenty of blackberry, wild strawberry and light touches of salted licorice and estuarine scents; this is going to be very seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and fine-grained tannins, not a powerful or deep Deuxième Vin, leading to a poised, quite spicy, peppery finish. This should give 12–15 years of drinking pleasure.
Vom Falstaff-Magazin mit 91-93 Punkten bewertet
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Mit einem Hauch von Gewürznelken unterlegte dunkle Beerenfrucht, zart nach Lakritze, schwarze Kirschen. Saftig, feine Süße, reife Pflaumen, etwas Zimt, reife Tannine, ein Hauch von Nougat im Abgang, ein vielseitiger, harmonischer Speisenbegleiter.
