Score 84/100 · Robert Parker
A lovely, medium-weight wine that has been very well vinified, the 1980 Pichon Lalande is delightful for current drinking. The bouquet offers spicy, cedary scents intermingled with copious ripe aromas of black currants. This is a soft, velvety, very nicely concentrated wine from a vintage considered poor to mediocre. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 12/88. Jan 1998, www.robertparker.com

About the producer

Pichon Comtesse
Ch. Pichon Comtesse is one of the stars of Pauillac, and one of the original "Super Seconds" in Bordeaux. Classed as a Deuxième Cru Classé in the 1855 Bordeaux classification, it is widely recognised that Pichon Comtesse can not only match First Growths, but occasionally outperform them.
