OUTSTANDING WINES FOR AN

OUTSTANDING WOMAN.

his is one of the best wines of its vintage.

Margaux 2011

boasts enticing aromas of plum, cassis, dark cherries and

minerals with silky flavors of sweet spices, herbs, smoke and

black currant. The wine is firmly built and very pure with smooth,

ripe tannins and outstanding length. This vintage blends 86%

Cabernet Sauvignon and 10%Merlot, along with equal parts Petit

Verdot and Cabernet Franc, giving the wine its deep ruby color.

For the finale, the wine finishes long and smooth, lingering

as one would hope. Still an infant in age, drinking it now will

delight both old- and new-world wine fans, as will laying it down

some 20-40 years.

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has an

exceptional personality compared with the other crus of the

Pauillac appellation. Complexity, elegance and longevity are the

hallmarks of this estate, and those characteristics are found in

every single vintage. Remember our earlier reference to it as a

Grande Dame? The very grand

2003 Lalande

is big and dense,

displaying a beautiful combination of wood, acidity, tannin, and

alcohol. Enjoy now or cellar for 20 years to come.
