More Information
PICHON-LONGUEVILLE, LALANDE
The wines here have always had great finesse and breed. The fact that part of the vineyard lies in St-Julien helps to give the wine a special character, more opulent and feminine than a Pauillac, yet richer than a St-Julien
Offered in original wooden case
Recently removed from excellent cellarage where the wines had lain since original purchase en-primeur
Château Pichon-Longueville, Lalande--Vintage 1986
Pauillac, 2me cru classé. Château bottled
Levels: into neck
Tasting note: Tasted 7 times since bottling with consistent notes. The 1986 is the most tannic, as well as the largest-framed Pichon-Lalande in over three decades. Whether it will ultimately eclipse the 1982 is doubtful, but it will be longer-lived. Dark ruby/purple, with a tight yet profound bouquet of cedar, blackcurrants, spicy oak, and minerals, this full-bodied, deeply concentrated, exceptionally well-balanced wine is, atypically, too brawny and big to drink young. Anticipated maturity: 1994-2015. 96 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #95, October 1994
