Pichon Lalande 1995 is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Second Growth Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. Often referred to as a `Super Second`, Pichon-Lalande is situated adjacent to the First Growth of Château Latour and often attracts favourable comparisons with its illustrious neighbour. On the 1995. "In contrast to the 2015, this vintage has a larger percentage of Merlot in the blend, along with 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. The colour shows no sign of age, although the nose has less aromatic force than one would have expected. It does show charm and elegance, however. The attack is fresh and limpid, and the moderately concentrated fruit is backed by firm tannins. There`s plenty of grip here, but it lacks a little punch and persistence. Still highly enjoyable and finely balanced." Decanter, 2017
