James Suckling 97 Points
James Suckling rated the 2021 Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande (it's from Pauillac, not Pessac-Léognan) a 97 points, calling it a "towering wine" with fantastic aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, and graphite. He noted the wine is still young and tight, with a gorgeous fragrance, succulence, and high acidity that will require a few years to open up and reveal its full potential.
