Opened a bottle from my OWC6 for its 10-year anniversary and it was a good choice - perfect drinking window! Smooth and silky tannins, nice acidity and the typical fruity notes in the nose as well as on the palate. Perfect get-together wine after a hard day of work. Pop your bottles and enjoy the Reserve de la Comtesse 2014 now and for the coming couple of years.

Solid assemblage from the Piedmont by Gaja (obviously far from a pure Nebbiolo) mixing well with a Fondue Chinois. Drinking Window for at least another two or three years and we just PnP.

Why just 91 points? because it sat at the adult table!
This grape juice is one of the best 2nd wines and 2009 was a great one. However, sitting at the adult table (Cos d'Estournel 1985-2009) it was difficult for this young gun to participate. Very close to its older brother though (2009 Cos d'Estournel). harmonizing tannins and acidity, astonishingly long finish - ready to drink and enjoy, also down the road of time. Compared to the first wine from the same estate, it is less complex.

I saw in one of your reviews that you might be looking for bottles of 1990 Château Pichon Longueville Baron.
I have three in my cellar. If you are interested, let me know.
Kind regards
2014 Réserve de la Comtesse
