Merchant's description

Château Pichon-Lalande 1998 is a Pauillac Second Growth red, crafted from a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The 1998 vintage, marked by a warm season, yielded concentrated fruit. The wine shows a bouquet of blackcurrant, cedar, graphite and subtle spice, while the palate is structured yet silky, with polished tannins, balanced acidity and a long, layered finish.
