Pichon-Lalande 2000 is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Second Growth Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. Often referred to as a `Super Second`, Pichon-Lalande is situated adjacent to the First Growth of Château Latour and often attracts favourable comparisons with its illustrious neighbour. The property`s 2000 grand vin is an assemblage of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 6% Cabernet Franc. "Very, very dark crimson. Scented. Lead pencil. Smooth - not a rough edge in sight. Very well done! Low key compared to Longueville Baron, but very good. Super-smooth and suave. " Jancis Robinson MW, 2005
