Château Pichon Longueville "Comtesse de Lalande" 2009, Pauillac Grand Cru Classé (750 mL)

97 bod. - The Wine Advocate

Chateau Pichon-Longueville “Comtesse de Lalande” je poznat kao jedan od značajnih 'super drugih' iz Pauillaca. Ovaj slavni Drugi Rast, iz klasifikacije iz 1855. godine, graniči sa vinogradima Château Latour i dijeli sličnu klimu, položaj i tlo kao Prvi Rast, i pravi vino koje može parirati (a ponekad i nadmašiti) ono svojih uzvišenijih susjeda.

Mješavina od 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot i 5% Petit Verdot, ovaj punokrvni, zaokruženi Pauillac ima slatke tanine, predivnu dubinu sredine nepca i odličan završetak. Prija mu sat vremena odležanih u dekanteru kako bi se izuzetno uživalo u njemu, i nesumnjivo će se graciozno razvijati narednih 20-25 godina.

97 points - The Wine Advocate

Chateau Pichon Longueville “Comtesse de Lalande” is known as one of Pauillac’s significant ‘super seconds’. The illustrious Second Growth, from the 1855 classification, backs onto the vineyards of Château Latour and shares a similar climate, aspect and soil as the First Growth, and makes a wine which rivals (and sometimes even exceeds) that of its loftier neighbours.

A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, this full-bodied, round, mouth-filling Pauillac has sweet tannins, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It benefits from an hour in a decanter to drink brilliantly, and will unquestionably evolve gracefully for another 20-25 years.
