A nice surprise, the blend of truffle, herbs, tobacco, cedar and plums gets you going. Silky, soft, but not quite refined on the palate, the wine has enough sweet, red pit fruits remaining to go another decade, if well stored.

I have always admired the 1966 Pichon Lalande and here, served blind next to its Latour counterpart, it continues to show well. The nose is deceptively Right Bank in style thanks to the relatively high Merlot content. A mixture of decayed red and black fruit intermix with black truffle, sage and thyme, fully mature but with no sign of oxidation. Not powerful, but content to just unfurl at its own pace. The palate has a sweet core of fruit, more youthful than I remember it, elegant in style and never intense. Its freshness is wonderful, hint of clove emerging towards that linear and straight-laced finish.

Deep ruby. Lovely plush, mellow nose and very complete on the palate at first even if the fruit began to fade after 15 minutes or so. I could imagine this being enormously pleasurable in full bottles now.

Château Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a Bordeaux wine estate that produces its grand crus in the Pauillac appellation. It is a second growth classified in the official 1855 classification. Recognisable by its white label with golden lettering, the Château is also known for its high-quality wine and expertise. Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande also produces a second wine: La Réserve de la Comtesse. 

The 45% Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine its structure, backbone and longevity. Recent tastings of old vintages such as 1875, 1893, and 1900 have shown, through their astonishing youthfulness, the ageing potential of Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande wines. 35% Merlot: a surprising percentage, unusual in an appellation that favours Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 12% Cabernet Franc produces a balanced wine with a fruity, firm and clean bouquet in its youth, which blends very well into the blend as it ages. The 8% Petit Verdot brings freshness and great aromatic and spicy complexity to the blend. Each year, more than 100 people - often the same families from Andalusia - harvest the estate's grapes, according to the degree of ripeness and the age of the plots: Merlot, an early-ripening variety, inaugurates the harvest, while Cabernet and Petit Verdot, late-ripening varieties, close it.
