2010 Domaine Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Labeled as 14% abv. Very darkly colored and opaque. Scent of blackberries and cassis. I'm not certain I smell the damson plum some have mentioned, but it may be lurking there in the background. This contains some tobacco leaf scent and has tannic material. No doubt the wine is young, but it is already delicious and easy drinking. There is a bit of tartness or astringency. You can drink now or hold for further evolving. I would award 93 points now--94 in the future? 93+ (CellarTracker note)

Nice note
I am not touching my 2010s yet (nothing as high ranking as Pichon Lalande) but glad to know already drinkable
