Vinum Wine Magazine November - 2010
Vinum Wine Magazine
Of the three 86s, clearly the best today! Today's sample has an absolutely stunning aromatic profile, closer to Latour than to Cos, but even more seductive, with stunningly pure, fine notes of spices, tobacco, fresh berries, a minimal hint of noble leather and cedarwood; the tannins are firm and full, but rounder than those of the two competitors, the whole signals not only power, but also perfect harmony. I know many magnificent Pichon-Lalande, but none of this particular class. Is now at its peak and fully deserves the 20 points.

Superbly structured, with breathtaking aromas of plums, chocolate and berries that follow through on the palate. Full-bodied, with full tannins and a long, alluring finish.

Tasted at the Fine Wine Experience's Pichon-Lalande vertical in London. The 1986 Pichon Lalande is still looking very youthful. The nose is incredibly backward and surly with smoke, cedar, cigar box, cooked meats with good definition. You could describe it as being rather joyless but it will surely mellow out with further bottle ageing. A touch of liquorice develops with time. The palate is full-bodied, firm tannins, backward, broody, good acidity, crisp black fruits, iodine, and a touch of liquorice, taut with good length. After 22 years this has not entertained the notion of entering its drinking plateau. Hopefully it will mellow out soon – a broad-shouldered, burly Pichon Lalande. Drink 2012-2030. Tasted December 2008.

I tasted it in Hong Kong alongside the 1995 and 1982. Great, very refined nose dominated by cedar. Very Cabernet Sauvignon. Slender, straight palate, very caressing and fragrant, with fine grain, melting body, and a perfumed, irresistible finish. At its peak.

Tobacco, cassis, cigar box, truffle, 5 Spice, olives and earthy scents introduce this brawny, old school, masculine styled wine. Robust and powerful, this brawny Pauillac will age for decades, but it's never go to become charming or offer the elegance found in other 80's vintages of Pichon Lalande like 82, 83, 85 or 89.

Château Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande
Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a Bordeaux wine estate that produces its grand crus in the Pauillac appellation. It is a second growth classified in the official 1855 classification. Recognisable by its white label with golden lettering, the Château is also known for its high-quality wine and expertise. Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande also produces a second wine: La Réserve de la Comtesse. 

The 45% Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine its structure, backbone and longevity. Recent tastings of old vintages such as 1875, 1893, and 1900 have shown, through their astonishing youthfulness, the ageing potential of Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande wines. 35% Merlot: a surprising percentage, unusual in an appellation that favours Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 12% Cabernet Franc produces a balanced wine with a fruity, firm and clean bouquet in its youth, which blends very well into the blend as it ages. The 8% Petit Verdot brings freshness and great aromatic and spicy complexity to the blend. Each year, more than 100 people - often the same families from Andalusia - harvest the estate's grapes, according to the degree of ripeness and the age of the plots: Merlot, an early-ripening variety, inaugurates the harvest, while Cabernet and Petit Verdot, late-ripening varieties, close it.
