Pichon Contesse de Lalande ( Stained label, Fill in Neck) - 1979 (1.5L) Picolit thanks to its surprising sweetnessUndoubtedly a top success for the vintage, Pichon Lalande's 1979 exhibits a dark garnet color with some amber at the edge. It offers a fragrant, cedary, roasted herb, and cassis scented nose. Rich, with medium body, well integrated tannin, and some acidity, this is the quintessentially elegant style of Bordeaux that is found nowhere else in the world. Robert Parker 90 points
