Chateau Pichon Lalande 1985
(2005) Much deeper with a crimson core. There's a mintiness here, with some cedary character, and solid, if rather restrained black fruit. The palate still has plenty of ripeness and sweetness, and this is really quite refined, with blackberry and cherry fruit notes, a fine coffeeish warmth, and a vegetal streak adding a chewy, sappy note. Very good length here, in a wine that seems to miss a beat, but is very classy. Tom Cannavan 92/100
