2004 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
Description
The 2004 Pichon Lalande is a strong effort for the vintage (much better than their underwhelming and much more expensive 2005). A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it exhibits a deep ruby/purple color as well as scents of cocoa, espresso roast, black cherries, and cassis. Medium to full-bodied, opulent, and fleshy, this classic wine cuts a stylistic persona somewhere between the 1995 and 1996. It can be drunk now or cellared for two decades.

The 2004 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a testament to the grandeur of Pauillac. This vintage exudes a deep ruby hue and a complex bouquet of cocoa, espresso, ripe black cherries, and cassis, underpinned by a refined oaky character with hints of truffle. On the palate, it reveals a medium to full body with opulent, fleshy textures, balanced by fine tannins and a persistent fruity finish. The wine's elegance and finesse are reminiscent of the esteemed 1995 and 1996 vintages, offering a delightful experience now or promising further evolution over the next two decades.
