Pichon Comtesse – Réserve 2018 – Pauillac

The nose is aromatic, elegant and offers power (full of control), concentration (full of control) and intensity. It reveals notes of ripe wild blackberry, wild strawberry and small notes of small wild fruits associated with touches of pepper, lily, violet as well as fine hints of cola, zan, camphor, discreet hints of vanilla and an imperceptible hint of roasted. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, fresh and offers a beautiful definition, fullness, suavity, a justly controlled small richness as well as power, deepness and a fine austerity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of wild cassis, wild blackberryand small notes of small wild fruits associated with touches of raspberry, cherry, black tea, camphor as well as hints of cocoa, caramelization, lily, zan, a subtle hint of sugared mild tobacco, toasted oak and a hint of roasted. Tannins are precise, racy and structuring. Good length and persistence. A suave, gourmand persistence and offers a fine hint of good bitterness of the cocoa.
