My impression is that the 2011 Pichon Lalande will have its day one day. For now big burly tannins give the 2011 a decidedly monolithic feel. To be sure there is plenty of fruit density and power lurking in the glass but the 2011 needs more time in bottle before it starts showing at its best. Two thousand-eleven was marked by an unusual weather pattern in which spring was quite warm and dry but then summer was cool.
