1979 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

"One of the vintage's high points is the 1979 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, a superb wine that wafts from the glass with notes of blackcurrants, cigar box, loamy soil, truffles and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit, melting tannins and lively acids, it's a fully mature, beautifully savory Pauillac that shows no signs of decline from a good cellar." 93/100 - Wine Advocate
