Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2016 - Case of 6 Bottles (75cl)The 2016 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is aged for 18 months in 60% new oak. Deep purple black in color, it is a little mute, slowly unfurling to reveal a core of crushed blackcurrants, blueberry compote and black raspberries with nuances of cinnamon stick, violets, star anise, menthol and pencil shavings plus a waft of fallen leaves. Medium bodied and super intense in the mouth, the palate bursts with black fruits and savory layers,
