Note di degustazione
Based on 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc and aged in 60% new French oak, the saturated purple-hued 2023 Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse De Lalande offers darker currants, violet, smoky tobacco, lead pencil, and graphite on the nose, all intermixed with the classic Comtesse floral and violet nuances. It's medium to full-bodied and has a pure, layered, graceful mouthfeel, polished yet building tannins, and outstanding length. It's going to be an absolutely classic wine from this address that will have 40 years of prime drinking. Drink 2027-2067.

The 2023 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is pure class. Vertical, deep and explosive, the 2023 is one of the stars of the vintage. Readers will find a vertical, soaring Pichon Comtesse. The 2023 is one of the most refined wines I can remember tasting here in many years. Lavender, dried herbs, menthol, licorice and mocha are some of the notes that build with some time in the glass. The 2023 is not an especially showy Pichon Comtesse, but rather a wine that needs time to blossom.
The 2023 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has a classic aromatic profile for the Pauillac estate, with plenty of blackberry and blueberry fruit, just a hint of white flowers and pencil box. Open and welcoming, even at this stage. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins that lend this Pauillac a malleable and very seductive mouthfeel. Finely judged acidity, very harmonious, with veins of graphite running through the finish and a cedar-tinged aftertaste. Utterly delightful.
A racy and focused red with black currant, blackberry and black cherry aromas and flavors. Hints of licorice Medium to full-bodied with tight and solid tannins that are polished and beautiful. Black currant, chocolate and walnut flavors, with a hint of spices at the end. Decanted, it shows such class and beauty. Stunning is the word. So refined and graceful with silky tannin backbone. From organic and biodynamically grown grapes. 80% cabernet sauvignon, 17% merlot and 3% cabernet franc. Best after 2029.
