James Suckling:

"Linear and racy with ultra-fine tannins and a gorgeous center palate. Full-bodied, tight and so polished. The classicism and beauty are exceptional. Love the texture. Better than 2015?"

Antonio Galloni:

"A deeply emotional, moving wine, the 2016 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is simply extraordinary. The tannins are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit, while the 100% new oak is remarkably well integrated at this stage. Dark, powerful and brooding, the 2016 possesses remarkable polish for such a big wine. The purity of the flavors is simply captivating. Scents of graphite, smoke, leather, tobacco and menthol soar from the glass, enhancing a core of deep, plush, dark fruit. All the elements fuse together in a wine of nearly unparalleled beauty. Although not inexpensive, Pichon-Lalande is arguably the single finest relative value in ageworthy wine in Bordeaux right now. Readers should do whatever they can to pick up the 2016. It is without question one of the wines of the vintage and potentially a legendary wine in the making. Tasted three wines."

The Wine Advocate

"The 2016 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc (compare that to the 2010 that had 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, for example--that should give you some pointers). The alcohol level is 13.32% and a pH of 3.76. I tasted from a new oak barrel and the final blend will include around 60% new wood and 40% one year old, which is something I took into account. It has a very succinct bouquet, one that is almost understated at first, gradually unfolding with blackberry, cedar and graphite scents, in the vein of say the 1986 or 1996 Pichon Lalande of the past. The palate is very well balanced and what I appreciate here is that it is still as much identifiable as Pichon Lalande as it is a Pauillac and a 2016. There is that touch of roundness imparted by the Merlot, even though the Cabernet dominates the blend, surely the terroir sculpting the wine. It gently builds in intensity, maintaining freshness, a gentle but insistent grip towards the finish and a very long aftertaste. This is probably just a notch up on the outstanding 2015 Pichon-Lalande, a Rolls Royce with a purring engine."

Decanter Magazine

"Beautiful mix of power and restraint that you can almost reach out and touch. The extraction is so silky that the effect is a wine that seems endless, suspended above your palate, caressing it and teasing you to find the tannins that are very much hidden. There are some rich coffee seams that fill out on the mid-palate with cassis and ripe blackberry notes, whipped together with violets and peonies. The juicy, mouthwatering quality just keeps on coming. The blend is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc from yields around 40hl/ha and with an IPT of 82, 10% higher than in 2010 but you simply can't tell. This is clearly going to age and age. One of the wines of the vintage, and I am ready to be seduced. Drinking Window 2027 - 2050"

"Blackish crimson. Sweet start and much less obvious density than some, very Merlot and just a little soft. Super-supple certainly… But where's the beef?"

Jeff Leve

"Rich in color, you find that the espresso, cigar box, tobacco, spice, forest floor, blackberry, cassis, lead pencil and dark red fruits make an incredible perfume. Pure silk and velvet, this is so sexy, it’s off the charts. Opulent, in fact, decadent, this wine tastes and feels so majestic I drank it all! This is the best vintage since the stunning 1982 and that is really saying something. Made from a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, it reached 13.32% alcohol with a pH of 3.76. The harvest took place September 20 to October 20."

Jean-Marc Quarin

"Couleur noire. Nez intense, au fruité très mûr. Superbe entrée en bouche ample, puis le vin monte au milieu et évolue savoureux, juteux et particulièrement fruité, vers une finale à la tanicité un brin marquée. Très bonne longueur. Assemblage : 75 % cabernet sauvignon, 21 % merlot, 4 % cabernet franc. Degré d’alcool : 13.3º, pH : 3.76 (moyenne plus), IPT : 81 (le plus important observé). Rendement : 40 hl/ha. Sélection : 50 % de premier vin."

Revue du Vin de France

"Le cru est à son sommet: nous n'avons jamais trouvé autant d'éclat et de race dans un Pichon Comtesse à ce stade. Serré, profond, mais irrésistiblement sensuel, il déroule en bouche des flots de saveurs et de tanins ultra-civilisés."

Roger Voss

"Dense tannins and dark fruits are just a part of this wine's complex character. It is ripe, full of blackberries, yet solid, with a structure that balances the fruit. It should age extremely well; be ready be prepared to hold this for 15 years or more."

René Gabriel's BDX Total

"Frisches, elegantes, feingliedriges, dichtes, komplexes Bouquet, Heidelbeeren, schwarzer Cassis, Korinthen, fein Lakritze, Minze, Pralinen. Ausgewogener, dichtverwobener, eleganter, frischer Gaumen mit dichter, feiner Frucht, viel feinem Tannin, fein cremiger, zart muskulöser Struktur, dichter, vielfältiger Aromatik, sehr langer, duftiger, kräftiger Abgang mit vielen Rückaromen. Kann noch zulegen. Vom Trinkspass könnte es der Nachfolger vom 1982er sein, aber mit mehr Dichte und mehr Konzentration."

Wine Spectator

"Light savory and tobacco notes peek out from the core, but a ball of cassis and blackberry fruit is still coiled up with the strong iron spine. This is to be expected. Very pure, with a long finish. Risk-free cellaring.—J.M."

Bettane & Desseauve

"Le plus complet depuis le rachat par Roederer, et une expression noble et complexe du terroir de Pauillac (notes de cèdre et de havane très fines), dans un corps retrouvant une grande plénitude et droiture. Il méritera peut-être une note plus élevée après mise. Ici aussi, la plus forte proportion de cabernet sauvignon depuis longtemps, ce qui ne l’empêche pas d’être assez différent de son baron de voisin !"
