Renowned for its elegance, depth and refined structure, it offers exceptional ageing potential while expressing the distinctive gravel terroir of Pauillac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pairs best with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, venison, mushroom dishes, braised short ribs and aged hard cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich, deep damson with a violet edge. On the nose it offers dark chocolate and liquorice. The palate is still tight, barely unfurling, more closed than during En Primeur. I love it that even a young Pichon Comtesse works its silky structure and lets a little light and space in between the fruit. Excellent lift on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points - Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm and ripe, this is a beautifully balanced wine. It is packed with black-currant fruits that are bursting out of the glass. A darker side comes with the tannins and new wood flavors that are still prominent. It looks likely the wine will develop slowly, so don't drink before 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points - Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery solid, with lots of cassis bush and sweet tobacco notes adding texture to the core of crushed ripe raspberry, blackberry and plum fruit flavors. A licorice snap accent dances throughout, while a bolt of iron runs underneath. This is Pauillac. Best from 2020 through 2035.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAromas of cassis bush and shaved chocolate with berries. Full body, velvety-textured tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Tangy undertones with fresh acidity. Drink in 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points - Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2014 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has an expressive bouquet with lively blackberry, cedar, flint and graphite aromas that are not powerful, yet display admirable precision. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, the Merlot content lending this Pauillac its trademark fleshiness and roundness, yet there is clearly structure here (not always a trait of this Pauillac growth). It will develop more complexity and personality with bottle age, but at the moment you can sit back and just admire the cohesion and superb length. Winemaker Nicolas Glumineau has overseen a quite wonderful Pichon-Lalande, one with inbuilt longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connect Logistics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43841502478566,"sku":"883725","price":354.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/3759\/5545\/files\/Chateau_Pichon_Longueville_Comtesse_de_Lalande_2014.jpg?v=1783024363","url":"https:\/\/www.bswliquor.com\/products\/chateau-pichon-longueville-comtesse-3","provider":"BSW Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
