Details
AN IMPRESSIVE RANGE OF FINE BORDEAUX OF THE HIGHLY-REGARDED 2003 VINTAGE
Lying in Kemble, Gloucestershire (Octavian)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Offered in original wooden cases
Château Pichon-Longueville, Lalande--Vintage 2003
Pauillac, 2me cru classé
Tasting note: The brilliant, opulent, fleshy 2003 Pichon Lalande (65 Cabernet Sauvignon, 31 Merlot, and 4 Petit Verdot) possesses a high pH of 3.8 as well as 13 alcohol. Reminiscent of the 1982 Pichon Lalande (which never shut down and continues to go from strength to strength), the dense plum/purple-colored 2003 offers gorgeous aromas of blackberries, plum liqueur, sweet cherries, smoke, and melted licorice. Fleshy, full-bodied, and intense, displaying a seamless integration of wood, acidity, tannin, and alcohol, this beauty can be drunk now or cellared for 20 years or more.
