Rather imbalanced and perplexing to taste, the 1966 Pichon-Longueville has good, dark ruby color, with just a little amber at the edge, a spicy, aggressive, cedary, black currant bouquet intermingled with decaying vegetation smells. It is big, fleshy, but disjointed on the palate, with an excess of tannin. This wine can be drunk now. No doubt the 1966 will age for another decade or more, but the wine is coarse and rustic. Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted, 2/87.
