Item Description
This lot is two bottles of Pichon Lalande from the acclaimed 1982 vintage, which remains the modern day reference point for many of the greatest wines in Bordeaux. Noted critic Robert Parker rated it a perfect 100, and said “One of the monumental wines of the last century is the 1982 Pichon Lalande. Since bottling, it has flirted with perfection, and was a sprinter out of the gate, which gave rise to questions about how quickly it would begin its decline. However... it retains all its glossy, rich, flamboyant cassis fruit, chocolaty, berry jam-like notes, and plenty of earthy, foresty flavors. This is a full-bodied, extravagantly rich Pichon Lalande seemingly devoid of acidity and tannin, but the wine is incredibly well-balanced and pure. It is an amazing effort! ”
