Chateau Pichon Lalande Pauillac Reserve de la Comtesse 2015

Rose-petal, cassis-bush and berry aromas. Medium to full body, tangy acidity and a soft and velvety mouthfeel. Round and friendly. Second wine of Pichon Lalande. 

The nose shows black fruit aromas, and there's immediate, lush, forward fruit on the attack. It's suave and concentrated, but also remarkably deep, weighty, robust and structured, with a long finish - this has clear ageing potential.

Stunning cassis fruit and just a touch of wood spice that adds complexity. The palate is graceful and fresh, with the cherry fruit emerging again with liquorice and a lovely peppery finish.
