1978 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

9/3/2016 - Edeon Likes this wine: 97 points

A bit dusty, but amazing length. Very inviting nose. I preferred this wine in the blind stage to the other 11, including the 1978 Latour, 1979 Margaux and 1978 Palmer.

The 1978 was stunning. This wine was a real turn off.

Tasted blind. What a bruiser. Lots of black fruit and cedar, gun powder, pencil lead. Quit alcoholic, feels 'new worldish' and young - would have never give this 20 years of age. I think this needs more time or serious decanting.

Tasted blind. Ripe nose yet undoubtedly left bank Bordeaux from the 90s. Notes of tobacco, sweet red fruit, cedar. Fully resolved, silky, very fine tannins.

Although certainly classic Bordeaux it was tired and actually quite uncomplicated. On the nose some nice pencil and red fruit, but on the taste not a whole lot to show for. Tannins are pretty much gone. Letdown as '89 is spectacular!

Colour bright mid red little development. Lovely cedar graphite nose, cool elegant fresh. Gentle fruit beautifully balanced.mid weight as expected for the vintage but this PL never fails to please. Good example of winemaking in a challenging vintage

5th of 25, decanted 2 hours, perfect cork and level - much as my May 15 note, these 96s seem to be regressing into their shells and are currently hard work, despite their underlying qualities, hard currently to rate above fine (17.5), though I'm sure the underlying wine is at least VF (18.5), but when.....technically similar to the 86 which took time to show, though the quality of tannin and fruit seem better in 96?

Somewhat muted nose, but beautiful sweet fruit on the seamless palate. Red currants, cassis, tobacco. Plush and round and a pleasure to drink. Probably not going to get any better from here.

Lunch at 67 Pall Mall (67 Pall Mall): Very promising high fill level and the bottle was in excellent condition which was to be expected as this originated from my father's cellar. Cork was removed intact by the sommelier using a Durand corkscrew (note to myself make sure this is on the Xmas wish list) and decanted but only for about 15 mins before we started drinking it.

Medium garnet colour with some browning round the edges. Complex nose including dark fruit, leather, tobacco/cigar box and more tertiary notes which were also present on the palate. Acidity and tannins still evident but very soft and well integrated. Medium body, long finish. The wine kept improving over the next hour or so and luckily was finished before it started fading. Excellent wine.

Union Des Grands Crus de Bordeaux 2010 Vintage Tasting San Francisco, nose of black currants, blackberry, black cherry, plum, with a touch of oak, same on the palate, seemed bigger than the Chateau Lynch Bages to me, very tasty, medium amount of slightly harsh tannins, needs 7+ years to peak, one of my favorite Bordeaux, out of my price range, medium/long finish.

8/14/2016 - wconnolly Likes this wine: 92 points

Medium garnet in color with no significant signs of age. The nose fills the room with violet and lavender...huge nose. Dark fruit, leather and tobacco on the palate. This is our favorite Bordeaux and we have tasted probably 10 vintages over the years. This evening we were fortunate to drink this side by side with the '89 vintage. The similarities were overwhelming. It was a real challenge to articulate differences. A tribute to not just the terroir but also to the skill of the winemaker in making such a consistent, classic wine year in and year out.

1934 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

8/17/2016 - Fred_Bo Likes this wine: 96 points

WOW! This bottle was a chateau bottle.

The fill wasn't too great. Only a mid-shoulder fill but the cork was in great shape and came out in one piece.

The initial nose was promising something incredible for the night! And boy did it deliver!

This had 4 stages - both the nose and the palate.

First stage - intense (green) acidity with all kinds of tropical fruit and then some dusty tobacco wood.

2nd stage - HERE COMES THE CASSIS. This is so lovely - so elegant but still powerful. Blackberries, Creme de Cassis, cedarwood, a bit dusty earth. lovely.

3rd stage - it's all about the tobacco - now the tobacco wants to join the party. All the other notes are there but tobacco definitely wants to be the main focus.

4th stage - everything intertwined and settled into their places. Fantastic! I really really loved this bottle!

1989 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more

8/15/2016 - amateurwino wrote: 94 points

Lovely example of Pichon Lalande. On the nose, there were leafy green aromas, hints of coffee, cedar, graphite, and dark fruits showing the cooler, classic profile of the '89 vintage. On the palate, resolved and pretty - an elegant, composed claret from a high quality producer. I preferred this to the one time I've had the '82, though I think that is likely more a function of the particular bottles I had rather than a definitive preference for one vintage over the other. Wish I had more time to spend with this wine, and more than a glass, but thankful to have had it.

8/14/2016 - rmcnees Likes this wine: 93 points

A comparison of 1989 and 1998 vintages - Dark garnet colored, starting to show a slight brownish rust hue due to aging, medium full bodied, complex yet perfectly balanced, each exhibited classic nose of a fine cigar, earth, floral, tones of cassis, graphite and hint of menthol and smoky oak. The 98 was a bit more bright and vibrant in its expression of the fruit, while the 89 was a bit more subdued and slightly closed. Both finished with smooth graceful silky lingering tannins.

1989 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

8/14/2016 - ozyloy Likes this wine: 93 points

Popped and poured, drank over 2 hours.
This was a travesty, as the wine took almost the entire first hour to get going - but once it did, it was lovely.
Appearance: Clear. Dark ruby, with a wide dull garnet rim.
Nose: Blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, herbs, tobacco, sweet spices, smoke. Initial rather pronounced vegetal notes blew off after 45 minutes of air, allowing mint and coffee notes to emerge.
Palate: Medium/medium(+) acidity, medium body, medium(+) flavour intensity. Medium silky and well-integrated tannins. This was all about the elegance of the body and the purity of the ripe dark fruit coming through with every sip. Long clean finish.
Drinking very well now. The juicy fruit along with the acidity and tannins should keep this wine going for up to another 10 years. 93-94 pts.

Potential for upside is tremendous. Think of the 1982 vintage being tasted just after turn of the century. This '96 vintage is not far behind. Delicious pauillac juice.

94 for now. Re-try after 2020.

Not exactly the best Bordeaux vintage but I was made an offer I could not refuse. Popped and poured for dinner tonight. Quite dark but with pronounced browning on the edge. Pronounced coffee nose with touches of blackberries, currants, floral notes and meat. Medium+ body but very soft. On the palate, sweet spices. The fruit is pretty ripe with a bit of sweetness to it although the wine itself has a lean frame. Some acidity at the back end. Earthy notes and dried herbs. Pretty dry. Medium+ length. Definitely not for decanting and an open bottle should be consumed within 2 hours before starting to fall apart. Still, I found it very good but certainly past peak and should be consumed soon.
