The 2004 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of rich dark berry fruit, cigar wrapper and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with velvety tannins and a seamless, charming profile, it is really beginning to drink with some style. It's one of the wines of the vintage and continues to represent terrific value.

This classic Pauillac with its deep garnet colour and profound aromas of blackberry and plum was touched with hints of chocolate, ground coffee, and earth. The texture is supple and silky, and the finish is deep and long. The secret here was picking a bit earlier than some: Merlot from 27 September, Cabernets from 7 October; the whole of the vineyard was in before the rains – a marvellous success that should continue to age well.

Dark crimson. Very sweet and slightly tarty on the nose. Thick, sweet and not very refreshing, with floral scents. Drying finish. Not fresh!

Each tune chosen forges close ties with wine and history, our history, that of Pichon Comtesse. Where were we? What did we feel? Which path did we take? And what about you? What will you feel? That’s how wine is set to music… » Nicolas Glumineau
