Chateau Pichon Lalande Reserve de la Comtesse 2016

The second wine of Chateau Pichon Lalande - always a superb bet in a good vintage; and what a vintage 2016 was! A complex nose with lots of present aromas. Intense floral notes of rose and violet as well as wild basil and rosemary. A lovely complex, savory, rounded palate. Flavours of strawberry, morello cherry and white tobacco. Fine and well-tuned, long and unctuous; well-structured, well-balanced and intense.
