Château Pichon-Lalande 'Pichon Comtesse Reserve' 2017 (RP:91、JS:91)

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande人稱「女爵」，位於波爾多Pauillac地區，位列1855分級制中的二級莊。

酒莊種植Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc和Petit Verdot。以 Pauillac區來說，他們採用Merlot的比重算是特別高，單寧因而比較柔順溫和。

自1874年起酒莊已經推出副牌酒，可說是波爾多第一批推出副牌的酒莊之一。Pichon Comtesse Reserve（之前名為Reserve de la Comtesse）正是「女爵」的副牌酒，在1973年成為旗下的永久產品。

品酒筆記：
(Robert Parker's rating: 91 points)
中等至深的石榴紫紅色，從杯中慢慢散發出淡淡的紅李子、黑櫻桃、車厘子酒及黑莓的香氣。伴隨而來的是凋謝的玫瑰、肉桂多士、落葉及翻過的泥土氣息。酒體中等，口感非常好，單寧細緻、清新，芳香地收結。

(James Suckling's rating: 91 points)
一些新鮮香草、雪松和漿果的香氣和味道。 酒體中等至飽滿，單寧柔滑，餘韻美味。儘管葡萄感覺未完全成熟，但顯示出張力和結構。2022年後品嘗最為理想。

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 91 points)
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it strolls out of the glass with nonchalant notions of preserved red plums, black cherries, kirsch and black raspberries with wafts of wilted roses, cinnamon toast, fallen leaves and tilled soil.  Medium-bodied, the palate is very pretty, with delicately played tannins and bags of freshness, finishing wonderfully fragrant. 

(James Suckling's rating: 91 points)
Some fresh-herb, cedar and berry aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, creamy tannins and a delicious finish. Shows tension and structure, though it’s a little green. Second wine of Château Pichon-Longueville Lalande. Best after 2022.
