Lot #21. Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2002

Description: Consists of 5 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 94 RP.
"One of the best wines of the vintage, this is a classic Pauillac that is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot. Dense ruby/purple in color with a glorious nose of melted licorice, lavender, barbecue smoke, black currants, and graphite, the wine is tannic, classically structured with an opaque ruby/purple color, beautiful definition, and a 1996-ish personality. This deep, full-bodied, elegant yet powerful 2002 should age handsomely for over two decades. Some patience will be required since this vintage exhibits more muscle and virility than normal." Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate #158, Apr 2005
Provenance: The Lute Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $650
