CHATEAU PICHON LONGUEVILLE, LALANDE 1985 |

Château Pichon Longueville, Lalande 1985 Pauillac, 2ème Cru Classéu. 4bn, 1ts, heavily bin-soiled labels, excellent color and clarityIn 2018, an all-enveloping Pauillac/cassis nose - no mistaking that! Richly aromatic and beautifully ripe and lush. So full of black liquorice on the palate, high in luxurious glycerol and cedary/foresty, mature Claret flavours. But this is so sprightly and youthful too. What a splendid impact. Serena Sutcliffe, MW5 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
