laying-down2012 Ch. Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, Pauillac

Red fruit predominates on the nose and also on the palate of this seamless Ch. Pichon-Lalande. This is serious wine, with great matière being present without any weightiness. Acidity levels are balanced and fresh, and the tannins completely integrated at this stage. Hints of cocoa on the finish really round off one of the best Pichons we have tasted in many years.
