Not decanted. From a small bottle. A really great young Pichon Lalande. For me, the best young wine from this estate, only the 2016 vintage impressed me even more when young. I think it will be an exceptional wine with about 10 years in the cellar.

Ønsket å smake en topp bordeaux tidlig - har noen andre som ligger og venter på vinduet. veldig livlig vin på nesen, med tydelig mørke bær, lær, tobakk, treverk. Frisk og rik i munnen, med mange lag og stor kompleksitet. særlig solbær og anis er fremtredende. litt "all over the place", som nok vil komme perfekt sammen etter god tid i kjelleren.

One of the contenders of wine of the vintage. Deep and complex with violet and sandalwood, ripe black fruits, pencil shavings, wet stone, toasty wood, some leather. Linger almost full body.

Enchanting nose with fragrant layers of blackcurrant, fine spices and cedar. Structured, elegant and fresh on the palate. Incredible persistence on the finish. So much potential.

medium deep purple color, pure cassis fruit on the nose- slightly roasted, some oak spice, plum note, on the palate a buttery and joyous fruit akin to the Haut-Brion, for the moment this is all fruit on the palate- and showing beautifully, out of all the wines served tonight this is the one I would open now for dinner if I had to choose, good length, lovely wine and the only question is whether its hallmark nuances will fully emerge in time or if this will remain more fruit-driven.
