Seduction first hand

1985 Reserve de la Comtesse; (2nd Ch.Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande)
Garnet with brick rim, some sediment. A/B level fill. The nose climbes out of the glass, red plums, raspberries, cassis, some cigars, bell peppers, liquorice, elegant and quite seductive nose. Some well hung game and autumn leaves. Soft attack, fresh acidity, mature tannins, almost gone, acidity really refreshes the palate, a bit thin and lean body, but a great aftertaste and length. Really impressive second wine. 87
