100 Parker Points!

Wine Advocate # 183 Jun 2009 100 points
One of the monumental wines of the last century is the 1982 Pichon Lalande. Since bottling, it has flirted with perfection, and was a sprinter out of the gate, which gave rise to questions about how quickly it would begin its decline. However, at age 27, it retains all its glossy, rich, flamboyant cassis fruit, chocolaty, berry jam-like notes, and plenty of earthy, foresty flavors. This is a full-bodied, extravagantly rich Pichon Lalande seemingly devoid of acidity and tannin, but the wine is incredibly well-balanced and pure. It is an amazing effort!

I have had this wine a half-dozen times over the last eleven months, and have rated it either 98, 99, or 100 on every occasion. It is a fully mature, sumptuous, gloriously perfumed, luxuriously rich Pauillac the likes of which are rarely encountered. The color is a dark plum/ruby with amber at the edge. Spectacular aromatics offer up cedar, smoke, jammy black and red fruits, minerals, licorice, and toast. Unctuously-textured and full-bodied, with low acidity, fabulously sweet, rich fruit, surprising definition for a wine of such lushness and intensity, this is one of the vintage's most compelling and profound efforts. It has been delicious since birth, but absolutely stupendous over the last decade. How much longer can it hold onto its magic? My guess is that it should be consumed over the next 5-7 years.

This has been the most sumptuous, delicious, and profound 1982 to drink over the last 5-6 years. It has never gone through any kind of dormant stage, and it continues to be the odds on favorite to emerge first in any blind tasting of the top 1982s. It reveals a classic Pauillac aromatic profile of sweet blackcurrant fruit intermingled with scents of herbs, cedar, and toast. However, on the palate it performs more like a great Pomerol. Given its unctuous texture, and lavish quantities of fruit, glycerin, and alcohol, this is a thick, supple, velvety-textured, gloriously decadent and hedonistic Pichon-Lalande that should continue to drink well for another 10-12 years. If readers need just one wine with which to impress someone, close a deal, or just experience the pleasures of wine, make it the 1982 Pichon-Lalande. Tasted 27 times since bottling with consistent notes.

Tasted 25 Times Since Bottling With Consistent Notes

I have drunk the 1982 Pichon-Lalande as often as any 1982 Bordeaux. With over two dozen tasting notes since its bottling, it is amazing that my scores have always been in the upper nineties. In short, Pichon-Lalande (or any Pauillac) could not be much better than this full-bodied, unctuous, super-complex, concentrated wine. From its explosive bouquet of cedar, blackcurrants, herbs, and spices, to its layer upon layer of rich fruit that coats the mouth, this is an awesome bottle of wine. It has been sensational since it was bottled. Will it ever close up or begin to lose some fruit? There is some lightening at the edge (something that is not apparent in other 1982 Pauillacs), but keep in mind that this is the only Pauillac with significant quantities (about 40%) of Merlot, which accounts for the faint amber edge. This wine should continue to drink well for at least 10-15 more years. Although astronomically expensive and virtually impossible to find, this is what great Bordeaux is all about!

Wine Advocate # 84 Dec 1992 99-100 points

This is unquestionably the finest Pichon Lalande I have ever tasted. It is one of only a handful of big 1982s from the Medoc that has not begun to shut down. The wine reveals the deepest color of any Pichon in the eighties. The only exception is the 1986. There is no amber at the edge. The phenomenal bouquet soars from the glass, offering aromas of minerals, sweet, jammy blackcurrant fruit, toasty new oak, coffee, and chocolate. In the mouth, there is an opulence and richness that must be tasted to be believed. With layer upon layer of velvety textured, rich fruit, and a finish which lasts for well over a minute, this magical Pichon Lalande should continue to offer fabulous drinking for at least 10-15 more years.
