This is a rich, opulent, stunning Pichon Lalande that is beginning to drink beautifully, yet should continue to improve for at least another 10-15 years and last 30 or more years. The Petit Verdot certainly gives the wine more of a tapenade, floral note, which I think can be interpreted by some as herbal. Dense purple in color, with loads of coffee, mocha, creme de cassis, and chocolate notes, this is a somewhat unusual blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and a whooping 10% Petit Verdot, with a little bit of Cabernet Franc. In short, I find this to be a spectacular Pichon Lalande.

It has an incredibly precise, mineral-driven bouquet with intense black fruit infused with cedar and graphite scents. In the mouth, it is a wine of extraordinary density, opulence, great presence, and richness.
