Tasting notes
Slightly disappointing: a bit too much herbal character. Medium-bodied, with cassis and green bean flavors, medium tannins and a slightly dry finish. Drink now or hold.--Pichon-Lalande vertical.James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1997

Pichon-Lalande's 1993 is not as fruity and soft as I expected. The wine exhibits light to medium body, an herbal, sweet, curranty nose, disjointed, awkward flavors, and an evolved personality with a pervasive greenness to its aromas and flavors. The wine is soft, and thus best consumed over the next 5-6 years. Feb 1997, www.robertparker.com
About the producer

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.
