Chateau Pichon Longueville - Pauillac Grand Cru Classe Comtesse de Lalande 2016 750ML

{ "available": "false", "body_html": "<p><em>"The 2016 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is every bit as regal as it has always been. Towering and spectacularly rich in the glass, the 2016 captures every ounce of potential is showed from barrel. The 2016 is a vivid, dramatically sweeping wine that will leave readers week at the knees. Beams of tannin give the 2016 soaring intensity that is matched by a host of aromas and flavors that open up in the glass. Blackberry jam, graphite, spice, menthol, licorice, pencil shavings and spice are all finely sketched in a bold, savory Pauillac that hits all the right notes. The 2016 Pichon Comtesse has been riveting on each of the four occasions I have tasted it from barrel thus far, making it easily one of the wines of the vintage. Nicolas Glumineau and his team turned out an epic Pichon Comtesse in 2016. Don't miss it!"</em> 100 Points<strong> - Antonio Galloni, Vinous (January 2019)</strong></p> <p><em>"Hard to fault the confident, tightrope-walking balance of muscular tannins, concentrated berry fruit and vibrant acidities. Sings of Pauillac, but a sophisticated, well-finessed version. Still young, but the wall of tannins is bouncy, rippling with silk and satin, along with liqourice, cocoa bean and camp fire smoke. Assume it will close down over the next few years, so make the most of it now with a long carafe, or wait for 5 to 10 years. 40hl/h yield, 60% new oak, and a long, slow harvest from September 20 to October 20."</em> 100 Points<strong> - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com (July 2021)</strong></p> <p><em>"The 2016 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is blended of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc aged for 18 months in 60% new oak. Deep purple-black in color, it is a little mute, slowly unfurling to reveal a core of crushed blackcurrants, blueberry compote and black raspberries with nuances of cinnamon stick, violets, star anise, menthol and pencil shavings plus a waft of fallen leaves. Medium-bodied and super intense in the mouth, the palate bursts with black fruits and savory layers, complemented by red fruit sparks and framed by fantastically ripe, fine-grained tannins, finishing very long with a lingering suggestion of minerality. Drink 2023-2058." </em>98+ Points<strong> - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Robert Parker Wine Advocate (November 2018)</strong></p> <p>Style / Variety: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot &amp; 4% Cabernet Franc<br>Region: Bordeaux, France<br>ABV: 13.5%<br>Vol: 750ml</p>", "collections": [], "handle": "chateau-pichon-longueville-pauillac-grand-cru-comtesse-de-lalande-2016-750ml", "id": "7524136059068", "images": [ { "alt": "Chateau Pichon Longueville - Pauillac Grand Cru Classe Comtesse de Lalande 2016 750ML", "src": "//carwyncellars.com.au/cdn/shop/files/chateaupichonlongueville-pauillacgrandcruclassecomtessedelalande2016750ml_1x1_crop_center.jpg?v=1711598453" } , { "alt": "Chateau Pichon Longueville - Pauillac Grand Cru Classe Comtesse de Lalande 2016 750ML", "src": "//carwyncellars.com.au/cdn/shop/products/220106_newold-12_1x1_crop_center.jpg?v=1711598453" } ], "options": [ { "name": "Size", "position": "1", "product_id": "7524136059068" } ], "metafields": { "moreInfo": "", "tastingNotes": "", "tastingNotes": "" }, "first_available_variant": null, "has_only_default_variant": "false", "options_with_values": [{"name":"Size","position":1,"values":["Single"]}], "selected_variant": "", "selected_or_first_available_variant": {"id":41778610962620,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"4833","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":37244409774268,"product_id":7524136059068,"position":1,"created_at":"2024-03-28T15:00:37+11:00","updated_at":"2024-03-28T15:00:53+11:00","alt":null,"width":2000,"height":2000,"src":"\/\/carwyncellars.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/chateaupichonlongueville-pauillacgrandcruclassecomtessedelalande2016750ml.jpg?v=1711598453","variant_ids":[41778610962620]},"available":false,"name":"Chateau Pichon Longueville - Pauillac Grand Cru Classe Comtesse de Lalande 2016 750ML - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":43500,"weight":1309,"compare_at_price":58000,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"19176","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":29809841406140,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"width":2000,"src":"\/\/carwyncellars.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/chateaupichonlongueville-pauillacgrandcruclassecomtessedelalande2016750ml.jpg?v=1711598453"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}, "product_type": "WINE", "price": "43500", "price_max": "43500", "price_min": "43500", "tags": ["country~france","POS-REMOVE","region~bordeaux","special~sale","specifics~cellarcollection","style~red wine","substyle~cabernet/merlot blend","substyle~red blend"], "title": "Chateau Pichon Longueville - Pauillac Grand Cru Classe Comtesse de Lalande 2016 750ML", "url": "/products/chateau-pichon-longueville-pauillac-grand-cru-comtesse-de-lalande-2016-750ml", "vendor": "Chateau Pichon Longueville", "variants": [ { "image_id": 37244409774268, "available": "false", "id": "41778610962620", "inventory_management": "shopify", "inventory_policy": "deny", "inventory_quantity": "0", "option1": "Single", "option2": "", "option3": "", "position": "1", "price": "43500", "requires_shipping": "true", "sku": "4833", "image": "files/chateaupichonlongueville-pauillacgrandcruclassecomtessedelalande2016750ml", "taxable": "true", "title": "Single", "weight": 1.309, "weight_unit": "kg" } ] }
