Lot 562 Details
CHÂTEAU PICHON LONGUEVILLE COMTESSE DE LALANDE 1989 (1)

Pauillac. 2ième Cru Classé
u. vts. scraped label.

Pichon-Lalande’s 1989 has a deep ruby/plum color with some lightening at the edge. The nose offers sweet plums and creme de cassis intermixed with vanilla and graphite. The wine is lush, medium to full-bodied, and layered with texture, low acidity, sweet tannin, and the hallmark purity and elegance this estate routinely produces. December 2002 WA 93

CHÂTEAU PONTET-CANET 1995 (1)

Pauillac. 5ième Cru Classé
marked label.

An old style Pauillac, yet made with far more purity and richness than the estate's ancient vintages, this broad-shouldered, muscular, classic wine exhibits a saturated purple color, and sensationally dense, rich, concentrated, cassis flavors that roll over the palate with impressive purity and depth. The wine is tannic and closed, but powerful and rich. It appears to possess length and intensity similar to the 1996. This is a great young Pauillac. February 1998 Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025. WA 92
