Château Pichon-Lalande 1982
Pauillac 2em Cru Classé
(top shoulder, lightly scuffed, wrinkled and stained label, scuffed capsule)
1 bottle

"It is a long-term wine, so do not be surprised if it continues along its plateau for another 20 years. Why is it not 100 points in my book? Well, compared to the 1982 Latour, it does not possess that same level of precision or length. Yet the bottom line is that both wines represent fabulous, era-defining contributions to this legendary vintage, and both continue to offer profound expression of Pauillac at its peak." (98pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, July 2016)
