Tasting notes
A bit more refinement and sleek with more sophisticated oak than the Frog’s Leap Cabernet 2018. Quite intense. (JR)

The 2019 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande demands more coaxing from the glass, but it rewards patience with compelling graphite-infused black fruit, unapologetically classic in style, the terroir flooding through. The palate is medium-bodied with wonderful sapidity, gorgeous balance and a pure yet powerful finish that makes you wish you could build a time machine and taste it in 20 years. Sublime. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.
Tasted blind. Deep crimson. Weak rim. Biscuity, alluring nose. Dry finish. Correct without being mind-blowing. All the ingredients are there without being knit together. (JR)
