1986 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de LalandePauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
6/12/2010 - jglineker wrote: 94 pointsDecanted 2 hours prior to tasting. Colour: deep bricky red but not showing true age. Nose: subtle notes of cedar, pencil lead, damp earth, some black fruit, wet wool. Taste: again, subtle notes of blackcurrant, spice and chocolate, medium bodied; long, tannic finish, close-knit with great depth. Improving whilst we are tasting it. Conclusion: Overall very impressive, a subtle yet elegant wine, enigmatic. A fitting wine to celebrate the birth of our daughter. |
