Score 86-88/100 · Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent, May 2022
The 2021 Reserve de la Comtesse is made from 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and 8% Petit Verdot. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it has open-knit notes of blackcurrant jelly, Morello cherries, and boysenberries, plus wafts of roses, wild sage, and fragrant earth. Medium-bodied, the mid-palate is a little thin and dilute with chewy tannins and an abrupt, savory finish.

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.
