Château Pichon Longueville, Lalande 1998 Pauillac, 2ème Cru ClasséLot 77: Excellent levels and appearance, Lot 78: Excellent levels and appearance, Lot 79: Excellent levels and appearance, Lot 80: Excellent levels and appearanceAt 21 years old, still with its deep colour, immensely scented, pure Pauillac cedary nose, full of perfumed promise. Now, a deliciously soft, 'cushiony' taste of ripe, opulent fruit. This shows the greater Merlot content at this epoch which gives the warm liquorice finish. A very plush wine, very 'violetty' and plummy, melt-in-the-mouth pleasure.
