Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande - 1981 (750ml) Jumilla this is a relatively large-scaledThis has always been one of the sexiest, most delicious wines from the 1981 vintage. It still possesses a dark ruby purple color. While the 1981 is less powerful than the 1982 and 1983, it reveals copious quantities of sweet black currant fruit, good flesh for the vintage, and a pure, nicely textured and balanced style. This wine remains vibrant and youthful. Anticipated maturity: Now 2002. Last tasted 6 97 Robert Parker 89 points
