92 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "1988 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is another vintage I had not tasted for a few years. I have recently encountered magnums of 1988 Pichon-Baron, so I was intrigued to see how they compared. The Pichon-Longueville has a classic bouquet with freshly rolled tobacco, brine and sufficient black fruit that renders the aromatics austere in the best way possible. The palate is medium-bodied and far more elegant than previous bottles, autumnal, yet beautifully balanced with cedar and leather notes, becoming a little fungal towards the short yet charming finish. This is drinking perfectly right now." 08/24
