Tasting Notes

This is one of the finest old vintages of Pichon-Longueville I have tasted (better as well as less evolved than the 1961, and a wine I have rated between 87 and 90).

87/90
Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (3), November 1998

A fleshy, muscular wine, with plenty of power. Dark ruby, with garnet edge, and a nose of roasted coffee and berries. Full-bodied, with an abundance of tannins and good fruit.--1959 Bordeaux horizontal.
