Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2010
Tasted at the chateau as part of a private vertical. The 2010 Pichon-Lalande is going to be a modern day benchmark and in many ways, surpasses even the great wines such as the 1982, 1986 and 1996. It has a stunning, intense blackberry, mineral-laden nose that is suffused with great tension and vigour. The palate is medium-bodied but do not let that full you. Here is a Pauillac brimming with tension and focus, the wine achieving tremendous precision on its long and persistent finish. Outstanding. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Neal Martin)

Vanilla, asphalt, ashtray, red pomegranate, dark chocolate, …… densely concentrated, very shy still, long, med acidity, finely integrated yet gritty towards the end.

Red cherry, red currant, cinnamon bark, black pepper, espresso, tart blackberry, crushed violet, light anise and cherrywood.

Had this open with the 2015. The 10 is classic in style. lead pencil and mineral thing going on. Awesome bottle but the 15 stole the show.

Wonderful comparison between (as one taster mentioned) the femininity of Lalande vs the masculinity of Baron. The theme held true throughout the night with most Barons being bigger and bolder and the Lalandes being more elegant and refined. Both beautiful but different.
