Blackberry and bramble. Earthy, spicy and minty. Light, delicate but with lots of density. — 10 years ago
Bowlful of biodynamic blackberry fruit with mouthwatering acidity and fine, young tannins. — 11 years ago
Insane amounts of fruit. Plum and fig. Balanced and smooth. Amazing. Aged in first growth Bordeaux. — 11 years ago
I was finally really impressed. It's so dense with a deep nose & long cherry finish. Its fruitiness is nicely balanced with wonderful long breath. Full body & complex wine, art of winemaking process like its label designed by Portuguese fashion designer. It cries in the glass, but they are tears of happiness :), tastes pretty mature, round, even and reach in taste - so drink now, it is ready & you will not regret it. — 10 years ago
Easy drinking, agree with other reviews - it doesn't quite have the strength of taste associated with most Riojas - but good drinking none the less. — 10 years ago

3L 1982 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. Drank at Art/Film as the first of two reds, with 1982 Cheval Blanc. This wine was ready to drink right from the first pour. Absolutely perfect, it was like silk. Pure velvet. Lorraine and I absolutely loved this wine. Much smoother and less vegetal than the Cheval Blanc, which perhaps was also more nuanced. Great wine amazing treat. — 10 years ago
