winemaker's notes:

The 1990 vintage of this wine was ranked #6 on the Wine Spectator's Top 10 Wines of 1993

critical acclaim:

"A very juicy wine, suffused with acidity. Abundant dry tannins, even while the fruit and acidity dominate. There's a great sense of richness as well as freshness.
Barrel Sample: 94-96 Points "

Wine Enthusiast

"This has wonderful purity of fruit with currants, blackberries and licorice on the nose and palate. Full body, with velvety yet poished tannins and a long, long finish. Roses and flowers at the end. Tar too! Reminds me of the 1990 PB.
Barrel Sample: 95-96 Points "

James Suckling

"Very sappy and intense, with mouthwatering acidity framing the cassis, violet and tobacco notes, followed by a supervibrant finish that features lots of cassis bush character. The Petit Verdot isn't as obvious on the nose as the 2000, which had 10 percent in the blend, but just as prevalent on the taut finish, where there's plenty of spice, drive and cut.
Barrel Sample: 92-95 Points "

Wine Spectator

"I tasted the 2010 Pichon Lalande on three separate occasions, two consistent and one that underperformed, hence the question mark. A blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, it reveals an opaque purple color as well as a thick, unctuous style with fresh blackberry and cassis fruit intermixed with hints of graphite, herbs and coffee. The vintage's tell-tale minerality is present in this structured, tannic, backward effort. It will require 5-6 years of cellaring and should age for 25-30 years.
Barrel Sample: 92-95 Points "
