Tasting Notes

88
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Sep 19
The 1999 Pichon-Lalande has an attractive bouquet of raspberry, wild strawberry and light floral scents, although it is missing the mineralité and terroir expression of the best vintages (including the 2016 that I tasted alongside). The palate is rounded on the entry, with supple tannin, gentle grip and a note of licorice infusing the red fruit. There is a pastille-like quality to this 1999, although my criticism is that at 20 years of age it is missing the essence of Comtesse. Balanced, but does not have much to say. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the estate.

Pauillac Fine Wine

Pauillac

Pauillac, a prestigious Bordeaux appellation in the Médoc region, is famed for producing some of the world's finest red wines. Pauillac wines are known for their power, structure, and longevity, featuring intense blackcurrant and blackberry flavours, with notes of cedar, tobacco, and graphite. Firm yet refined tannins support long-term ageing. Top producers include Château Lafite Rothschild for elegance, Château Latour for powerful structure, and Château Mouton Rothschild for its blend of power and finesse. Other notable estates include Château Pichon Longueville Baron and Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande.
