A historic vintage that despite its age is still very concentrated, full-bodied, and smooth that expresses intense minerality, depth and richness, the very essence of its terroir. A supple, well-balanced wine with silky tannins and a long finish. Perfect maturity of the Cabernets and Merlots, an excellent vintage.

Critic Reviews
Wine Spectator
94 Points
94 Points, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator: "Offers a juicy, lively core of plum, cassis and blackberry, studded with anise, violet and singed vanilla notes. Everything pulls together seamlessly on the finish, with a well-embedded graphite spine. Sneakily long.—Non-blind Pichon Lalande vertical (July 2014). Drink now through 2035" 11/14
Wine Advocate
96 Points
96 Points, Robert M. Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate: "What sumptuous pleasures await those who purchase either the 1996 or 1995 Pichon-Lalande. It is hard to choose a favorite, although the 1995 is a smoother, more immediately sexy and accessible wine. It is an exquisite example of Pichon-Lalande with the Merlot component giving the wine a coffee/chocolatey/cherry component to go along with the Cabernet Sauvignon's and Cabernet Franc's complex blackberry/cassis fruit. The wine possesses an opaque black/ruby/purple color, and sexy, flamboyant aromatics of pain grille, black fruits, and cedar. Exquisite on the palate, this full-bodied, layered, multidimensional wine should prove to be one of the vintage's most extraordinary success stories. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2020." 02/98
