1986 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

"Juicy, fleshy and showy, with warm plum sauce, melted black licorice, espresso, cocoa powder and black currant confiture notes all melded together, yet clearly defined. The smoldering, tobacco-fueled finish expands steadily with air. A wine of power and range that is just hitting its stride. *Ranked #9 Top 100 Wine of 1989*" 95/100 - Wine Spectator
