  November 23, 2012 - Another beautiful bottle. Thanksgiving night, done with turkey, time for steak and lamb chops. Had 82, 83 and 86 Pich's side by each. All very different but could identify all as Pichon Lalande. Not much of even a hint of brown on any of the 3. All perfectly stored, decanted and served. Fruit still bright in 82 and 83, 86 still a bit on the tight side. Great examples of Bordeaux. None of the 3 showing signs of down sliding. But 82 and 83 are probably at peak, 86 still some time left to hit it's peak.
