Country: France / Barrel Sample
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande / Pauillac
94–96. Barrel sample. Intense black currant fruitiness makes this wine unabashedly forward. The palate bears weighty tannins behind that fruit, resulting in a wine that is already quite balanced and structured.
