Château Pichon-Longueville, Lalande--Vintage 1953
Pauillac, 2me cru classéi
In original wooden cases; the imperial's label is lightly soiled
"An excellent '53. First tasted in 1972: classic, elegant,
stylish. Silky textured in a marie-jeanne in 1978. 'A perfect
dinner wine' in 1980. Two Nicolas bottlings: one lovely, the other,
with a crumbly cork, drier and more acidic; and most recently
another delicious marie-jeanne: lovely warm tile-red; 'old cedar',
medicinal Pauillac bouquet that opened up gloriously; medium
sweetness and weight, silky, now lean but well clad. Dry but
fragrant finish. Drink now, or, if well stored, beyond 2000." JMB
