Château Pichon-Longueville, Lalande--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 2me cru classé
In original wooden case. Ten with very good appearance, levels: five into neck, five base of neck. Two with corroded capsules, signs of seepage, levels mid-shoulder
Tasting Note: I have had this wine a half-dozen times over the last eleven months, and have rated it either 98, 99, or 100 on every occasion. It is a fully mature, sumptuous, gloriously perfumed, luxuriously rich Pauillac the likes of which are rarely encountered. The colour is a dark plum/ruby with amber at the edge. Spectacular aromatics offer up cedar, smoke, jammy black and red fruits, minerals, liquorice, and toast. Unctuously-textured and full-bodied, with low acidity, fabulously sweet, rich fruit, surprising definition for a wine of such lushness and intensity, this is one of the vintage's most compelling and profound efforts. 100 Points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 129, June 2000
