Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, Pauillac, France 2009 Sherry Blend The purity of the fruitDeep garnet colored, the 2009 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a little reticent to begin, slowly giving way to notions of warm black cherries, blackcurrant cordial, stewed plums and sauted herbs with hints of damp soil, tobacco and beef drippings.
