Château Pichon-Longueville, Lalande--Vintage 1983
Pauillac, 2me cru classé
Tasting Note: A stunning wine, Pichon-Lalande's 1983 has been gorgeous to drink for a number of years. It is one of the finest 1983s, especially for a northern Médoc. The colour remains a dark ruby/purple, with slight lightening at the edge. The knock-out nose of roasted herbs, sweet, jammy blackcurrants, and pain grillé is followed by a full-bodied, gorgeously concentrated and well-proportioned wine with low acidity, plenty of glycerin, and a savory, highly extracted, fleshy mouthfeel. This has always been one of the stars of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: Now-2008. Last tasted 6/97. 94 Points, Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
