Deep ruby. More immediate oaky spice, fragrant. (Winemaker Thomas Dô Chi Nam suggests cinnamon.) Again that mix of black and red fruit. Much less dense than the 2005 but straighter and more structured though the tannins are smooth even if upright. Fresh, structured but well balanced by the fruit. Tannins are drier and tighter, still fresh and finishes dry and savoury. Later: pronounced richness of fruit on the nose – both cassis and plum, and plenty of sweet spice with a touch of vanilla. Rich but also juicy. (JH)

The 2004 Pichon Lalande is a strong effort for the vintage (much better than their underwhelming and much more expensive 2005). A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it exhibits a deep ruby/purple color as well as scents of cocoa, espresso roast, black cherries, and cassis. Medium to full-bodied, opulent, and fleshy, this classic wine cuts a stylistic persona somewhere between the 1995 and 1996. It can be drunk now or cellared for two decades. Also tasted: 2004 Reserve de la Comtesse (88; $35.00)
