Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a little reticent to begin, slowly giving way to notions of warm black cherries, blackcurrant cordial, stewed plums and sautéed herbs with hints of damp soil, tobacco and beef drippings. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with tightly wound black fruit and earthy layers, framed by ripe, fine-grained tannins and lovely freshness making for a long, lively finish. Classic! - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate March 2019

Roederer Estates had owned Pichon Comtesse for three years prior to the 2009 vintage, having taken over in 2006, with Gildas d'Ollone as managing director and Thomas Do-Chi-Nam as technical director. Together, they created a stunning, lyrical 2009 that just begs to be savoured. It’s ripe and intense, rippling with juicy blackberry and blackcurrant fruit and touches of violet on the nose. A beautifully balanced wine. Drinking Window 2021 - 2046 - Jane Anson, Decanter February 2019

The 2009 Pichon Lalande is ripe and decidedly flamboyant from the very first taste. Dense and voluptuous in the glass, with serious richness, the 2009 is also almost shockingly tannic. It won’t be ready to drink anytime soon, and yet, there is so much to look forward to. The warm, dry conditions yielded a dense, exotic Pichon Lalande, but there is serious structure beneath all of the fruit. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

What a great nose of blackberries, currants and spices. Hints of fresh herbs. Full body, with ultra-fine tannins and lovely fruit. Such finesse and beauty. Wonderful to taste. Reminds me of the legendary 1982. Try in 2018. - James Suckling

Sensuous, rich, opulent, concentrated, powerful, ripe, long, and intense, the velvet-drenched wine fills your palate with layers of dark red fruits. There are no hard edges. The wine is already so easy to drink, that it is impossible not to be seduced into finishing the bottle far too quickly. As good as this is, give it a few more years in the bottle, and it is going to be even better as it gains in secondary nuances and complexities. Drink from 2024-2050.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider
 
Bright dark ruby ​​garnet, violet reflections, delicate water edge. Light nuances of nougat and black wild berry confit, hints of blueberry, caramel and sweet precious wood. Juicy, extract-sweet, elegant texture, firm ripe tannins, very good freshness, mineral and persistent, already accessible, shows great length, with further development potential. Already drinkable, but it's better to wait.-Peter Moser, Falstaff

In the same qualitative ballpark as the 2010, if not a step up, the 2009 Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse De Lalande nevertheless offers more immediate pleasure and opulence, with a gorgeous perfume of blackcurrants, lead pencil, unsmoked tobacco, truffle, and spice box. A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, this full-bodied, round, mouth-filling Pauillac has sweet tannins, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It needs an hour or two in a decant today to drink brilliantly and will unquestionably evolve gracefully for another 20-25 years.-Jeb Dunnuck

A beautiful effort, the 2009 Pichon Lalande, a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, possesses copious mocha, lead pencil, unsmoked, high class tobacco, black currant, forest floor and herbaceous characteristics. It is a deep purple-hued, charming, surprisingly open-knit Pauillac with wonderful freshness, a plump, fleshy mouthfeel, opulence and unctuosity, medium to full body and a well-delineated, luscious style. More elegant than its nearby neighbor, Pichon Longueville Baron, and not as massive in concentration and extract, it is one of the great Pichon Lalandes of the last twenty years. - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

A seductive wine, deliciously ripe with the softest, juiciest fruit over smoky new wood. The wine shows intense fruit as well as a soft Merlot core. The tannins are beautifully integrated in this ripely sweet wine.-Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
 
75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. They have beefed up the Cabernet Sauvignon to increase concentration. Being fined. Will be bottled in May. Very luscious mulberry fruit. Round and deep and full of oriental spice – Thai beef? Dry finish. Pretty snazzy. Very youthful and embryonic. Cuts off just a little on the end.-Jancis Robinson
