Lisa Perrotti-Brown: This barrel sample is 100% new oak, whereasthe final blend will be only 60% new oak. A blend of 70% CabernetSauvignon, 23% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the2017 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is very deepgarnet-purple in color with an incredibly fragrant nose of roses,lavender and baking spices over a core of crushed blackcurrants,wild blueberries and fresh plums plus touches of iron ore andunderbrush. Medium-bodied and elegant with firm, grainy tannins,it's quite taut and muscular, with lots of perfumed and minerallayers and a long finish with lingering cinnamon and anise notes.
