Some of the heavier notes of green stems blew off - this wine was in need of longer decanting time. The Lalande to me had some green stem notes that put me off after it was poured. 1996 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac.These 1996's were very acidic compared to the other vintages of the evening. This is a wine with good tannins and on the low side of acidity. Medium mouth feel and weight is moderate. 1995 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac.Minerals, smoke and extract all are apparent and some saddle leather. Toasted oak and a chocolate profile makes this wine a bit different than the other vintages. 1995 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, PauillacĪ bit reminiscent of a California Cabernet.1 night with Angelina Jolie, or 5 nights with Terry Hatcher. Some choose that they would consider taking the 5 bottles over the 1. For me it was easy - take the one bottle of 1982. Also we spoke about wether or not anyone would rather take 5 bottles of 1996 Lalande or 1 bottle of 1982 Lalande. There was a conversation about how this vintage is undervalued. it was a very well structured wine and had plenty of juicy fat girl fruit. A wonderfuil mouth feel and clean balanced finish. Very succulant with extracted, ripe fruit. Purple red - this must have been the sweetest Bordeaux of the night. 1990 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac.1990 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac.Tobacco and lead pencil and lushed out tannins. It tasted delicious and was brawney, muscular, ripe, with plenty of extraction. It tasted better today but I thought that the Pichon Lalande could be better tomorrow. Of the 2 wines - this had a slight edge to me. 1989 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac.The nose has some roasted nuts and ripe seductive flavors. 1989 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac.A shame its up against such stiff competition.

Concentrated black berries and light toast. Softer than the Baron with much more balance. 1986 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac.Packing a punch with rich expansive tannins. It was in need of some longer decanting time - but non-the-less, it was purple, ruby red with expressive aromatics of dark plum and tiny berries. Tasted like it was stored slightly better than the Lalande. Giant tannins - Younger tasting than the Pichon. 1986 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac.Lot's of 2nd nuances and a slightly tart finish. Good tannis and a deliciously inviting nose of sugar plums and cassis. 1966 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac.It was a wonderful deeper glimpse into Pichon Baron's history.
