  • 2008 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

    In the bouquet dark berries, vanilla, beautiful oak and slightly rustic impressions. On the palate juicy red and dark berries, cherries, good acidity, tannin and bitterness. The wine impressed less compared to previous occasions. Is it wise to wait until at least 2024? Could well be; the wine has a future of at least another decade. 92++?
