Score 90/100 · Drink 1989-1998, Robert Parker, Jan 1997
A great Chateauneuf du Pape, the 1981 Pignan is deeper in color than the 1983, has a roasted nut and plummy bouquet, intense, very concentrated, full-bodied flavors, and a long, tannic finish. Anticipated maturity: 1989-1998. Last tasted 2/87.
