Community Tasting Note

  October 18, 2017 - Ch. Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Vertical Tasting with Nicolas Glumineau (Taberna del Alabardero): This kicked off an interesting succession of new vintages that kind of reminded me of a sequence like '08-'09-'10 with each one richer and more dense than the one that came before. This one is the only one of the three that's actually a finished wine, though, and offered up a whole array of detail not discernible in the newer vintages on a graceful, feminine frame that I'm not sure either the '15 or '16 will ever match. Didn't take careful notes on this as it is basically consistent with the full bottle I got to focus on a couple months ago, but I loved this. This also has the virtue of being seriously bargain-priced -- still widely available at $99 and it's going to be very hard for me to spend more than $99 on anything now when the alternative is "...or I can buy more 2014 Pichon-Lalande."
