One of the wines of the tasting. Fresh and complex, generous in character, with lovely dried cherry and spice aromas that follow through on the palate. Full-bodied, with concentrated fruit and firm tannins, this has a long life ahead.--Pichon-Lalande vertical. ?JS

Eine phantastische Magnum (18/20) 1993 bei Hannes Scherrer serviert bekommen. Tief in der Farbe. Geballte, kräftige Nase; Korinthen, animalische Spuren, aber auch Süsse darin. Im Gaumen kräftig, fleischig mit einer gut eingepassten Säure. 02: Nach wie vor ein positiv überraschender 70er. Jetzt reifende, nicht mehr besonders tiefe Farbe. Herrliches Pflaumenbouquet, das eher an einen grossen Chambolle-Musigny erinnert. Im Gaumen feine Nussschalenaromen im Extrakt, was besonders viel Würze abgibt. Selten hat der sonst eher schmeichelnde PICOLA (Pichon-Comtesse-Lalande) eine derartig nette Arroganz wie bei diesem jetzt am Ende der Genussphase befindlichen Wein. austrinken

Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
This exemplarily Pauillac estate, Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, produces some of the best Second Growth Bordeaux wines. Known for its rich, elegant, and perfumed wines, the château’s history can be traced back to the 17th century. In 2007, Pichon-Longueville was sold to the family-run Roederer Champagne House. The property was completely redone recently; building new vinification facilities, including the renovation of their cellars, vat rooms and chais, as well as replanting select vineyards, and modernizing their reception area, museum, and château. The improvements, along with estate manager, Nicolas Glumineau’s commitment to maintain Pichon-Longueville’s already high standards, have kept this Left Bank property preforming at its best. With vineyards bordering the Saint-Julien appellation, Pichon-Longueville’s wines are the most exotic and voluptuously scented in the Médoc. The Grand Vin is an elegant Pauillac due to its relatively high proportion of Merlot.
