Château Pichon-Longueville, Lalande--Vintage 1986
Pauillac, 2me cru classé
"A dozen notes. Good, rather high toned fruit. Then, on its tent anniversary, plummy coloured, taut brambly fruit on nose and palate. Relatively forthcoming, though tannic. More recently, dining at the château (June 2000): sweet, rich, mouthfilling, its extract masking tannic finish. Four months later, the oldest of six vintages of Lalande: sweet, rich, 'touch of molasses' nose; crisp, lean, dry, drinking well. Last noted at a masterclass at Les Prés d'Eugénie, Christine and Michel Guérard's exquisite spa-hotel-restaurant, Oct 2000 *** (almost 4-star). Could possibly attain that level." MB, Vintage Wine
