Château Pichon Longueville, Lalande 1985  

Pauillac, 2ème Cru Classé 

u. bn, slightly bin-soiled, slightly scuffed, and slightly nicked label 

In 2023, an absolutely outstanding, rich, black liquorice, aromatic nose of extraordinary complexity. This wine has always been at the forefront in this vintage, with its Merlot content at the time a great match with the year. Total opulence all through, with luscious plums and blueberries. This is a real 'grand vin'. And the freshness on the palate is remarkable. The unique feature of this wine is its depth and dimension, in a vintage that was delicious but not usually profound. This is! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
