The 1980 Chateau Pichon-Lalande is a landmark wine from this challenging vintage in Bordeaux. On the nose this shows gorgeous savory aromas with wild mushroom, exotic spices and red bell pepper with salted Marcona almond. The palate shows light dark fruits with largely tertiary flavors rounding things out. While this is gorgeous now, the wine will bring drinking enjoyment for at least another five years.

Yes the vintage precludes its vibrancy but this '80 is deeply engaging, put on weight throughout and was delicious. Despite pop 'n pour into small plastic cups.
