Score 87/100 · Robert Parker
The 1987 typifies Pichon-Lalande in its graceful, velvety texture, rich, cassis-scented and flavored fruit, medium body, and satiny finish. It is faithful to the style of wine sought by the chateau. Offering a fragrant, velvety mouthful of ruby-colored wine, it should drink well for another 2-4 years. It remains one of my favorite wines of the vintage, but it requires consumption. Last tasted, 6/93. Aug 1993, www.robertparker.com

About the producer
Pichon Comtesse
Ch. Pichon Comtesse is one of the stars of Pauillac, and one of the original "Super Seconds" in Bordeaux. Classed as a Deuxième Cru Classé in the 1855 Bordeaux classification, it is widely recognised that Pichon Comtesse can not only match First Growths, but occasionally outperform them.
