1981 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande...

Mint condition. Excellent storage. Although 1981 in Bordeaux is overshadowed by the legendary year 1982, this particular wine has grown into one of the absolute "sleepers" and successes of the early 1980s. The style: Unlike many other Pauillacs (which are very masculine and tannic), Pichon Lalande, with a relatively high Merlot content, has always a silky, sensuous, and elegant character. What are you tasting now? The wine is in its tertiary (fully mature) phase. Expect aromas of cedarwood, cigar boxes, tobacco, graphite, autumn leaves, and leather, carried by a soft body with fully integrated tannins and subtly dried black fruit. Drinking advice: The wine is now at its absolute peak. It doesn’t need to lie down for long anymore, but if well stored it will remain stable for the coming years. Gently decant just before serving to separate the wine from the sediment (the deposit).
