Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
Pauillac de Pichon Lalande Red Bordeaux Blend
Every 50th birthday party should end with a birth year wine. What better than an old Bordeaux and one of our favorite producers from Bordeaux? Happy 50th Birthday Sofia a splendid night of great food, friends, wine and environment.

The 50-year-old Puillac wine was dark garnet in color; nose was large and dominated by horse stable floor, cedar, leather, and molten leaves; on the palate it showed age (lower acids and a lean body) but with nice cherries, some tannins and a long interesting finish.

Sep 20th, 2016Delightful wine with resolved tannins and a smooth palate feel. Cork was still viable and fill level was excellent. Medium body and its components were in harmony. A delight to drink and share with friends. Happy Birthday Joe......
