Stephen Brook:Very deep red. Lean, tangy, oaky nose, and red-fruit aromas that confirm the Merlot in the blend, although there is also a touch of chocolate and clove. Medium-bodied, sleek, quite concentrated, wrapped in an elegant, understated style, with suave tannins and good acidity. Arguably the palate lacks some weight and power, but that is not the Pichon Lalande style. Good length, with a discreet finish
