The 2010 Pichon Longueville Comtesse Lalande is a rare and elegant Pauillac wine. The nose gives off fresh, intense, and dense dark fruits scents suggesting a lovely texture, with a bursting wide range of aromas: cherry, dark berries, raspberries, cinnamon, and violet. The neat and vibrant attack is followed by a full, firm structure without being coarse. On the contrary, the tannins are extremely refined albeit significantly thick. Overall, the 2010 Pichon Longueville Comtesse Lalande offers freshness, rich flavours, and structure: truly a masterpiece!
Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande gives up notes of warm cassis, blueberry pie and kirsch with wafts of cedar chest, pencil lead, charcoal and charcuterie plus a hint of wild thyme. Medium to full-bodied, the savory-inspired palate possesses a fair bit of chew with a lively backbone and firm finish.
