Christian Balog beschreibt den Reserve de la Comtesse 2022 Pauillac wie folgt:
92-93
Die Nase präsentiert sich mit viel dunkler Frucht, angeführt von Cassis und Holunder. Auch eine Portion Holzwürze ist wahrzunehmen, gepaar mit etwas Roter Paprika. Dafür ist er im Mund erstaunlich sanft und geschliffen. Die Säure ist total harmonisch, das Tannin seidig und weich. Im Mund hat er einen ganz sanft süssen Kern. Klingt fein und balanciert aus. Sauber und klar bei mittlerem bis vollen Körper.
Den Reserve de la Comtesse 2022 Pauillac beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
Like a number of second wines from the best classified growths, the 2022 Resèrve de la Comtesse shares much of the personality of the grand vin this year, delivering aromas of blackberries, violets and exotic spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy palate with a rich core of fruit framed by powdery tannins.
Den Reserve de la Comtesse 2022 Pauillac beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
The density of fruit is serious with blackcurrants, black berries, crushed stone and coffee beans. Yet it’s not heavy and overdone. The palate is full and rich, but also agile and weightless, with tannins that are spread and pretty.
Den Reserve de la Comtesse 2022 Pauillac beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
The second wine of Comtesse de Lalande, the 2022 Pichon Comtesse Réserve is based on 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Franc. Ripe black and blue fruits as well as some chocolaty, tobacco nuances define the aromatics, and it's a rich, full-bodied, velvety textured second wine that's going to drink brilliantly right out of the gate. This is well worth seeking out. Tasted twice.
Den Reserve de la Comtesse 2022 Pauillac beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Schwarze Herzkirschen, Brombeeren, etwas Cassis und Edelholz. Gute Komplexität, feine dunkle Waldbeerfrucht, straffe Tannine, die perfekt eingebunden sind, anhaltend, zartes Nugat im Abgang, Röstaromen im Nachhall, sicheres Reifepotenzial.

92-94
Truffle, tobacco leaves, black currants, cedar, and hints of peppery spice show in the perfume. On the palate, the wine is clearly a baby Pichon. It is medium-bodied, elegant, soft, silky and lifted, with layers of finesse-oriented dark, red pit fruits that make you want to go back for another sip. This is just as good most vintages of the Grand Vin from the 80s and 90s. The wine blends 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2025-2040.

93 / 100
Gorgeous aromatics, vibrant but deep too. Tannins make the impact straight away, there’s good density here, clear concentration this is carrying some heft in the really quite potent dark fruit flavours, spiced edges and sense of heat that comes through the underneath. Broad but focussed, definitely more streamlined than wide and plush, with almost chewy tannins but that have a pure cool blue fruit, liquorice and slate grip to them giving them edges and creating the linear focus. Feels well constructed, still on the tense nervous side but it has an appealing juicy grip too. 3.8pH. 50% grand vin, 50% second wine. 3.8pH. 2% Cabernet Franc completes the blend.
