Chateau Pichon Comtesse de Lalande 1985

RENÈ GABRIEL´S BX TOTAL: "Kräftiges, klassisches, elegantes Bouquet, Pferdesattel, Rosmarin, Waldboden, Caramel, getrocknete Kräuter, Pralinen, kandierte Früchte. Ausgewogener, würziger, aromatischer, klassischer Gaumen mit feinem Tannin, kräftiger, süsser Aromatik, cremiger Struktur, langer, dichter Abgang. 19/20 trinken" - A.Kunz. 

THE WINEADVOCATE: "Fully mature, this wine shows some pink at the edge, a sweet nose of herb-tinged cherries and black currants intermixed with dusty notes and new oak. The wine is medium-bodied, elegant, very flattering, and perfumed. It does not have the weight, depth, or dimensions of the top vintages, but is quite seductive. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted, 5/02." 

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "From a pristine bottle opened at the chateau, this has definitely lost some of its charm. The sensuous textures are there, but the fruit has started its fade. Drink up if have this in your cellar as it is not going to get better from here."
