Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2emé Cru Classé, Pauillac, 2009, 75cl Nyhed roasted nuts and subtle briocheDeep garnet colored, the 2009 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a little reticent to begin, slowly giving way to notions of warm black cherries, blackcurrant cordial, stewed plums and sauted herbs with hints of damp soil, tobacco and beef drippings. Medium to full bodied, the palate is packed with tightly wound black fruit and earthy layers, framed by ripe, fine grained tannins and lovely freshness making for a long, lively finish. Classic!
