The juicy content is just so great, pure, crystalline, a lick of salty, wet stone, slate, oyster shell. Very Pauillac in the undertone of mint, Cab liquorice and tobacco but so elegant.\u003cstrong\u003e I love it\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eGeorgina Hindle, Decanter.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 Pichon Comtesse Réserve comes in at 13% alcohol this year, with no Cabernet Franc, which is all in the Grand Vin this year, something that Nicolas Glumineau said was a surprise given the growing season. There is a palpable estuarine influence on the nose, blackberry and bilberry fruit, touches of violet in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a fine bead of acidity and very harmonious. Again, a very \u003cstrong\u003eclassically styled \"cool\" Pauillac\u003c\/strong\u003e.
