Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
The
2004 Pichon Lalande is a strong effort for the vintage (much better
than their underwhelming and much more expensive '05). A blend of
53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc
and Petit Verdot, it exhibits a deep ruby/purple color as well as
scents of cocoa, espresso roast, black cherries, and cassis. Medium
to full-bodied, opulent, and fleshy, this classic wine cuts a stylistic
persona somewhere between the '95 and '96. It can be drunk now or
cellared for two decades.
