LiteItOnFire Likes this wine: 93 Points Outstanding vintage and it can be kept easily for another 10 years or more.ġ person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No I truly enjoyed this very much, I had not tried 1982 before, but till then 19 will be the best Pichon Longueville Lalande that I had tasted. The wine possesses spices, liquorice, smoke, black fruits, cedar, mushroom, truffle and it was the WOTN. Suggest decanting 4 hours or more if it is going to be consumed today.ġ995 Pichon Longueville Lalande is the balance of 19. High tannin, toasty vanilla, cedar, charr, with dense ruby colour. It will most likely taste better the 1988 Pichon Longueville Baron when it aged. Slightly decanted for 30 min, allowing it to evolve in the glass which further opens up the wine.Ģ005 Pichon Longueville Baron although drinkable window but it is still too young to consume it now. It was easy to tell the difference between the 3 as 1988 Pichon Longueville Baron had already had the tertiary and secondary notes of mushroom, undergrowth, meat, oaky and there's still fruits aroma cooked black fruits. Tasted this alongside 2005 Pichon Longueville Baron and 1995 Pichon Longueville Lalande blind. (R&D)ģ people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No It had been decanted for only an hour before going back into the bottle with a cork until the flight was poured some 90 minutes later. Secondly, I think of PB as a bit of a bruiser typically in need of time anyway, so combine that with the fact that this was an '05 and my jaw just about hit the floor when this was unveiled. The first surprise here was the vintage as many of the '05s we have tasted recently are still quite firm and primary. This has an old world quality but to me the fruit seems a bit too forward for Bordeaux and it reminded me of a bottle that was very fresh in my mind, so I guessed 2006 Dominus. Black fruit, leather, herbs and lavender flavors. Has some tannin to integrate, but what's there does not overwhelm. Aromas of leather, black fruit and tobacco. Dark color with just the slightest bit of bricking. 4th Saturday Group: Uptown Brown Bag (M&R): Double blind.
