93 points Robert Parker: "A distinctive bouquet of violets, soy, pepper, blackberries, cassis, and tree bark gives this 2001 a singular style. This dense ruby/purple-colored blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and a whopping 14% Petit Verdot exhibits plenty of structure, wonderful sweetness, a closed style, but a rich, textured, persistent character. The unusually large percentage of Petit Verdot gives the wine more structure and less initial charm. This beauty needs some time in the cellar. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018." (06/04) 92 points Wine Spectator: "Plenty of tobacco, berry and cedar aromas and flavors. Medium- to full-bodied, with sweet fruit and refined tannins. Long and ripe fruit on the finish. Not quite as exciting as from barrel. Best after 2007." (03/04) Steven Tanzer 92-93: Good medium ruby. Sweet raspberry and bitter cherry aromas complicated by sexy roasted oak, mocha and melting chocolate. Sweet, smoky and complex, with a creamy, lush middle and lovely shape. Plumper than it appeared a year ago, like so many examples from this vintage. Finishes very long, with rich, chewy, broad tannins of noteworthy sweetness. Classic Pichon-Lalande in the making. (5/03) 92 Red-ruby. Enticing aromas of plum, woodsmoke and Cuban tobacco. Lush, silky and suave, with intriguing hints of mocha and cedar. A wonderfully sweet, impeccably balanced claret without any rough edges. Finishes long and firmly tannic.(5/04) Decanter 5 Stars: Big colour, deep chunky fruit, sweet and ripe. 2007-20 (07/03) Clive Coates 16: Fullish colour. Ripe nose. But not the greatest intensity or concentration. Quite elegant, of course. Medium to medium-full body. Delicate. Lovely fruit. Lots of finesse. A good persistence at the end. But very good at best. 2008-2020 (1/05)
