Lot #42. Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2010

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 98+ AG.
"An eternal wine, the 2010 Pichon Lalande is a total showstopper. The first impression is one of explosive power, but time in the glass brings out the wine’s more delicate, floral side. Violet, graphite, crème de cassis, licorice and menthol overtones recall the 1996, but the tannins here are much softer, sweeter and more polished. In two recent tastings, the 2010 has been positively stellar. The alternation of hot days and cool nights led to a late harvest. The Cabernet Sauvignon harvest did not start until October 7; by that date in 2009 all the fruit was in. Readers who can still find the 2010 should not hesitate, as it is a modern-day classic. That’s all there is to it." Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Oct 2017
Provenance: The Arctique Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $350
