Pichon Comtesse - 2018 - Réserve de la Comtesse - 750 ml.

Subregion: Pauillac

The 2018 Réserve de la Comtesse is a second wine from the esteemed Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. It showcases a beautiful expression of Pauillac with a blend that typically includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a touch of Cabernet Franc. The wine opens with aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and hints of violets, complemented by subtle notes of cedar and spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with a silky texture and well-integrated tannins. The flavors of dark fruits are layered with nuances of tobacco and graphite, leading to a long, elegant finish. This wine is approachable in its youth but also has the potential to age gracefully over the next decade.
