Château Pichon Longueville, Lalande 1982 (1 DM)

Château Pichon Longueville, Lalande 1982

Pauillac, 2ème Cru Classé

u. bn, slightly damp stained label, metal capsule

In 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. In 2020, such a cedary, classy nose, intensely perfumed, with real breed and a touch of blackcurrant. On the palate, very berryish fruit, with finesse, youth and a lingering taste of cassis. The softness now in the middle is the Merlot content of the time. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

2018年品嚐，華麗辛香，波爾多紅酒芬芳直撲鼻腔。最令人嘖嘖稱奇的是，我單憑香氣就把酒款辨認出來，這可不是常有的事！酒香曼妙，教人未飲先醉。外子David嚐過後立刻表示，此酒與酒齡相若的1929年陳釀有著同樣的芳香和協調。盛大華美的絲般享受，伴隨極為濃郁的味道，無疑是1982年份的特質，儘管當年收成豐厚，卻不妨礙這種特質成為1982年頂級葡萄園出品的獨特賣點。質感如奶油般香滑，內裡裹滿莓果香味。此酒表現更勝從前，若繼續珍藏，仍能百尺竿頭。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
