The wine is more fragrant and more finely-spun than Antinori’s other Bordeaux wine

Australian Beef Chuck roll that is cut into the cubes and frozen

This is followed by a full-bodied wine with tremendous concentration

It can be consumed over the next 5-8 years

and it's very hard to predict how it will taste in another two decades

Pichon Lalande 2009 australia_wines The wine is more fragrantDeep garnet colored, the 2009 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a little reticent to begin, slowly giving way to notions of warm black cherries, blackcurrant cordial, stewed plums and sauted herbs with hints of damp soil, tobacco and beef drippings. Medium to full bodied, the palate is packed with tightly wound black fruit and earthy layers, framed by ripe, fine grained tannins and lovely freshness making for a long, lively finish. Classic! RP
