Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, 2eme Cru Classe, Pauillac 2010 (0.375L)

"Blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot. Structured, backward and tannic, yet showing a fat mid-palate that is more savory, broader. Full-bodied, impressively endowed, and less sexy and velvety than normal, this is a somewhat different style of Pichon Lalande than most readers have been used to." - Robert Parker

"Rock-solid, with a classic Pauillac profile of cassis, iron and graphite. Layers of blueberry, blackberry and boysenberry fruit cover the grip for now, but there's serious muscle for the longer haul, revealing a lingering pastis hint.--Non-blind Pichon Lalande vertical (July 2014). Best from 2020 through 2040." - Wine Spectator
