Wine Advocate #140(4/2002) Rating: 87 points Drink: 2002-2012
The 1999 Pichon Lalande performed inconsistently. This wine is a blend of 47% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Petit Verdot. It offers a complex, evolved bouquet of cedar, underbrush, red currants, and spice box. The dark ruby color is not as saturated as many 1999s, and the wine possesses the weight and style of the 1979 and 1981 (both of which are superior to 1999). There is medium body, excellent ripeness, and an angular finish, without the persistence typically found at this chateau. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2002) Score: 88
A delicate and refined red. Fresh aromas of raspberries and minerals follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a delicate, refreshing finish. Best after 2003.
Decanter Rating：
Very complex on the nose with rich dark fruit mixing with tabacco and leather. Wonderfully silky palate with a good fruit concentration. Elegance balance and finesse marked the personality of the Château. |
