Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande - 2005 - Pauillac Les Levrons A bold and refined redRobert Parker's Wine Advocate : The 2005 Pichon Lalande, with its aromatics of cassis, forest floor and earth are followed by a medium bodied wine that doesnt have quite the length and richness the aromatics suggest. Nevertheless, it is medium bodied, elegant, and pure, and a classic example for this chteau. Drink it now as well as over the next 15 or so years. It is showing better than my earlier notes suggest.
