Château Pichon-Longueville, Lalande--Vintage 1986
Pauillac, 2me cru classé
Lot 410 five of excellent appearance and one with badly stained label. Levels into neck. Lot 411 slightly bin-soiled labels, one slightly stained label, one slightly damaged. Levels: four base of neck and two top-shoulder
In original wooden cases, lot 411 without lid
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 95, October 1994
