Details
Château Pichon-Longueville, Lalande--Vintage 1986
Pauillac, 2me cru classé. Château bottled
Tasting note: 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. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, October 1994
