Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, Pauillac, France 2015 Umpqua Valley with vivid apple tones andA fine and delicate nose, the wood expresses itself without stifling the fruit: blueberry, blackberry and blackcurrant, aromas reflecting the fullness of a well born Cabernet Sauvignon, at its optimum maturity. The palate offers a remarkable combination of power and freshness. High point of the tasting, the very long finish which marks a capital Pauillac.
