Pichon Lalande Vintage:2018 The 2004 Blanc des MillenairesAs it always is, the 2012 Pichon Lalande is a wine of pure and total seduction. The 2012 is neither the biggest nor most complex Pichon Lalande, but it is among the most pleasurable wine in this tasting, especially for near and medium term drinking. Silky and medium in body, with lovely brightness, the 2012 has so much to offer. Antonio Galloni
