1982 Château Pichon-Longueville (Baron), Cru Classé Pauillac, Jeroboam (3L)

"This wine turned out much better than I expected. At a young age, it was somewhat disjointed and seemingly lacked acidity, but there is no doubting its level of concentration. It has firmed up and lost some of its baby fat, and now reveals plenty of sweet, smoky, leathery black currant fruit, a plush, opulent mouthfeel, and has reached full maturity. The color is starting to brick at the edge of the glass."

From one of history's all-time greatest vintages, here is one of Pauillac's iconic Second Growths - a 'Super Second' as it's called, where quality routinely rivals that of a First Growth. Where power, elegance, and ageing potential is renowned. Situated next to Château Latour, the estate's gravel-rich terroir produces wines of profound structure and depth, in which the Grand Vin blend's of cabernet sauvignon and merlot delivers bold, refined Pauillac character, and perpetuates a benchmark for the appellation.
