Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande – Pauillac (Grand Cru Classé) 1988

Deep garnet colored, the 1988 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 sautéed 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 Bordeaux Blend!
