Description

2015 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, Pauillac, BordeauxWhat a charming wine. The seductive fruit is so typical of this historic estate and I just love the enticing nose of pure cassis fruit and hints of cocoa. The ripe blackcurrant and cedar flavours combine with a touch of sweetness to produce a very generous palate. This wine fundamentally tastes just as Pauillac should: silky, creamy and lush; ripe, fleshy and juicy. There is concentration here, as well as balance, and the cool freshness one has come

The nose has charming honeysuckle notes

David Croix has used a small percentage of whole bunches this year which is unusual for him

all the elements balanced perfectly within a framework of elegance

with outstanding potential to age

this dram is a delightful treat for a cosy winter’s eve

The purity of the flavors is remarkable

chewier spice notes to shine through

One of the finest Palmers of the 1980s

Gather some loved-ones

Slightly baffling oak-related nomenclature aside
