Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1985
Pauillac - 2ème Grand Cru Classé
Rating : 92/100 Wine Spectator
2014 Tasting Note: "Quite ripe, with flavors of plum cake, warm gingerbread, mint, Christmas pudding and fruitcake embedded in warm currant and fig fruit. Offers a long, coffee-tinged finish, seductive ripeness and easy structure. "James Molesworth.
