CHÂTEAU PICHON LONGUEVILLE, LALANDE 1989

Château Pichon Longueville, Lalande 1989

Pauillac, 2ème Cru Classé

Lot 202: Good levels and appearance

Such a classy nose of real breed and ripeness. Such freshness, with huge fruit and fat covering the tannic structure. Very Merlot finish. Superb. It is so exotic but is it classic? And does that matter?! Recently, a hot, melting nose, with the strong vintage character overriding the Pichon Lalande character. Sweet and pure coffee and cocoa on the palate. Coffee beans plus all the oriental spices. So full of texture you can eat it. Recently, luscious damsons nose. Vanillin and cedarwood. Very soft and supple. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
