Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider June - 2018
Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
On the downhill slope, but not without charm, especially texturally, as the wine is soft and silky. Focused on the bright, red berry side of ripeness, there is a strong, leafy, green olive, tobacco leaf and peppery component in the nose and palate. Still, considering its age and the vintage, this was still nice to drink. But it is not a wine for further ageing.

11-1997) A surprise, showing plenty of ripe and exotic fruit for the vintage. Dark-ruby in color, with ripe plum and earth character. Full-bodied, with a long chocolate, berry finish.

(9-2003) Dark red. Medium intensity. Evolved. Clean. Medium intensity. Discreet. Fruity. Cooked fruits. Tobacco. Plum. The palate is a little fluid and finishes on a sappy tannic note with a taste of cedar. Medium length on a slightly dry note.

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.
