Chateau Pichon Comtesse Lalande 2005

Chateau Pichon Comtesse de Lalande, 2eme Grand Cru Classé Pauillac, Bordeaux, France, 2005

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Rounded, immediately more graceful than the Reserve de Comtesse, with a certain minerality and earthiness. Solid, ripe black fruit, which is weighty on the palate and nicely juicy with a certain tension between the taut, supple tannins and sexy damson and black chocolate fruit quality. Very silky, delicious and long."

95/100 points, Tom Cannavan, January 2007

"Dark crimson with some blue notes. Iodine nose. Silky tannins. Very aromatic and sweet. Round and polished tannins. Blackcurrant pastilles! Healthy fruit. A savoury note too. Really tannic on the finish, but only on the finish. You could drink this now if you decanted it well. Drink 2015-2035"
