100 Points - Decanter
Silky black fruit, black olive and truffle immediately introduce a majestically impressive wine. The texture is pure silk, gradually building in intensity and confidence across the palate. Bright, vibrant tannins work beautifully with the vintage's fresh acidity and concentrated fruit, creating exceptional balance and energy. Continuing to improve with age, this remarkable Pichon Lalande is beginning to rival the legendary 1982 and promises decades of further evolution.
97 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2010 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande delivers powerful aromas of black currants, leafy herbs, tobacco and chocolate. Full-bodied, round and beautifully layered, it combines a lush, seductive personality with seamless texture, fine-grained tannins and tremendous length. A blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it has entered a stage where its impressive potential is becoming fully apparent.
96 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Polished and structured, this vintage displays subtle new oak alongside the classic refinement associated with Pichon Lalande. A higher proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine greater structure than many previous vintages, emphasizing concentrated black currant fruit. It combines the softer qualities of the vintage with considerable aging potential. Cellar Selection.
94 Points - James Suckling
A refined and elegant Pichon Lalande offering aromas of blueberries and blackberries accented by earthy and mushroom notes. Full-bodied with smooth, velvety tannins, it delivers generous fruit and a juicy, polished finish. Best from 2017 onward.
93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande reveals warm cassis, blueberry and kirsch layered with cedar chest, pencil lead, charcoal, charcuterie and wild thyme. Medium- to full-bodied, the savory palate offers substantial texture and chew, supported by vibrant acidity and a firm, structured finish.
93 Points - Wine Spectator
An intense core of plush blackberry, boysenberry and black currant fruit is layered with mulled spice, singed apple wood and anise. A strong loamy character carries through the finish, where underlying tannic grip provides additional structure. Best from 2015 through 2030.
