Lot 209 Details
CHÂTEAU PICHON LONGUEVILLE COMTESSE DE LALANDE 2002

Pauillac. 2ième Cru Classé
3 x scraped labels.

One of the best wines of the vintage, this is a classic Pauillac that is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot. Dense ruby/purple in color with a glorious nose of melted licorice, lavender, barbecue smoke, black currants, and graphite, the wine is tannic, classically structured with an opaque ruby/purple color, beautiful definition, and a 1996-ish personality. This deep, full-bodied, elegant yet powerful 2002 should age handsomely for over two decades. Some patience will be required since this vintage exhibits more muscle and virility than normal. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025. April 2005 WA 94

6 bts.    per lot $1,200 - $1,400

Realised: $1,560
