1979 Chateau Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Pauillac (Soiled Labels) Beaujolais very pure scents of blackberryHeavily bin soiled and tattered labels. Pictures shown are representative of the lot we have on hand, individual bottle photos available on request. Tasted April 2024 At the outset, it had a fully mature, cedary Pauillac bouquet. With just 10 15 minutes in the glass, it developed beautifully, with some currant y fruit, and lots of cedar earth herbal notes. It has a pronounced acidity on the finish, making it optimal for the table.
