CHATEAU PICHON LONGUEVILLE, LALANDE 1982 |

Château Pichon Longueville, Lalande 1982 Pauillac, 2ème Cru Classéu. 1bn, labels soiled and coming loose, capsules slightly wornIn 2018, sumptuous, super-spicy, total aromatic impact great Claret on the nose. Amazingly, I got it on bouquet alone - and this does not happen very often, be assured! Wonderfully scented, almost inebriating. On the palate, husband David immediately said, this has the aromatic quality and harmony of the 1929s at the same age. Such mega silky bliss, packed with immense concentrated flavour, a giveaway feature of 1982, in spite of the high yield - you could call it the USP of 1982 top crus. Creamy textured, with a core of berries. It has never been better, but it will still go the distance.
