Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 21, 2017 - Nineteen eighty-two Pichon-Lalande is a great wine without a doubt. Although this bottle, purchased many years ago, may not be perfectly representative since it was recorked 1993, I find every bottle of it to be splendid regardless of source. Beautiful mature healthy deep ruby color. Superb and very deep bouquet of dark raspberry and black cherry, almost sweet on the nose. On the palate, assertive, both robust and elegant with very fine acidity and very ripe tannins. What's missing are any secondary or tertiary notes to add complexity. Could this vintage of P-L still be too young?
