James Suckling: 90 Points
Beautiful aromas of blueberries, currants and blackberries follow through to a full body, fine tannins and refined finish. Already so drinkable. Second wine of Pichon Lalande. But even better in a year or two.
Wine Spectator: 89 Points
Vinous: 89 Points
The 2012 Reseve de la Comtesse is round, sensual and inviting, with sweet floral notes that give the wine much of its up-front appeal. Silky, polished tannins wrap around a core of black cherry jam, plum, smoke and savory herbs. The 2012 could use a bit more mid-palate depth, but it is an attractive wine to drink now and over the next decade or so. The blend is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc.

Wine Advocate: 88 Points
The 2012 Réserve de la Comtesse (64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot) has a surprisingly dense ruby/purple color, some chocolaty blackcurrant fruit, soft tannins and a nice, medium-bodied mouthfeel. It is an ideal second wine for drinking over the next 12-15 years.
