Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande - 2004 (750ml) Size:750ml The 2004 Latitude 38

The 2004 Latitude 38

It is approachable now

and probably a decade is needed to bring it into focus

Made in a Graves-like style

fleshy flavors and a full-bodied finish

Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande - 2004 (750ml) Size:750ml The 2004 Latitude 38The 2004 Pichon Lalande is a strong effort for the vintage (much better than their underwhelming and much more expensive 2005). A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it exhibits a deep ruby purple color as well as scents of cocoa, espresso roast, black cherries, and cassis. Medium to full bodied, opulent, and fleshy, this classic wine cuts a stylistic persona somewhere between the 1995 and 1996.
