Weinwisser: "83 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 14 % Merlot, 3 % Cabernet Franc, Alkohol 12.7 vol%, pH 3.7. Dicht verwobenes Bouquet, edle Cassiswürze, frischgepflückte Brombeere und Heidelbeerdrops. Im zweiten Ansatz ein Strauß mit Flieder, Blutorangenzeste und Grafit. Am sublimen Gaumen mit unglaublich seidiger Textur, engmaschigem, kakaoartigem Tanningerüst, perfekt definiertem Körper. Im konzentrierten, nicht enden wollenden Finale Wildkirsche und tiefschürfende Terroirwürze. Ganz großes Pichon-Kino, kann in der perfekten Trinkreife die Höchstnote erreichen."

Vinum: "Dichtes Rubinrot, super floral im Duft, Veilchen über Johannisbeeren, kühlem Kamin; am Gaumen gradlinig, anfangs scheu, baut aus, Massen an Tannin, feinkörnig, präzis, diese sind präsent, dominieren nie die Frucht, hochelegant, langanhaltend, frisch, endet auf Brombeeren und eine leicht pfeffrige Note. Eine federleichte und doch konzentrierte Comtesse."

Decanter: "This wine offers pure, sophisticated aromatics of blueberries, blackcurrants, peony, and iris, with crayon and inky notes. Smooth and silky, it delivers great energy and intensity, balancing delicate chew, fleshiness, and fine, muscular tannins. Structured yet tight, it reveals iodine, salty graphite, cool blue fruit, mint, and cola. The texture grows on the second taste, gaining mass and flesh, with juicy sweetness on the mid-palate, evolving into a chewy finish. Tobacco, clove, liquorice, dark chocolate, and cedar add complexity. Mouthwatering acidity and precise balance showcase Nicolas Glumineau's skill, creating a svelte, energetic wine with a lot going on. 16% press. 50% production. 65% new oak. 3.7pH."

James Suckling: "The length and linear nature of this wine make it outstanding. Medium-bodied with polished and refined tannins that caress the palate. Extremely well done. The length and finesse are impressive."

Jeb Dunnuck: "The Grand Vin from this reference point Pauillac château, the 2024 Château Pichon Longueville Comtess De Lalande checks in as 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc hitting 12.7% alcohol with a pH of 3.7 and an IPT of 70. Beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon notes of cassis, graphite, freshly sharpened pencil, and crushed stone all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a concentrated, layered, wonderfully textured mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Bouquets of flowers, Cuban cigars, blackberries, black cherries, plums, smoke, cassis, and truffle aromatics capture your attention. On the palate, the wine is elegant, silky, vibrant, and graceful. The fruits provide purity, length, and freshness. The layers of licorice-infused cherries, plums, walnuts, chocolate, and black plums on the medium-bodied palate are supple, silky, and as generous as the vintage allows, finishing with more of those sweet, juicy, vivacious plums. (…) Only 50% of the harvest went into the Grand Vin. Drink from 2028-2047."
