A lovely, medium-weight wine that has been very well vinified, the 1980 Pichon Lalande is delightful for current drinking. The bouquet offers spicy, cedary scents intermingled with copious ripe aromas of black currants. This is a soft, velvety, very nicely concentrated wine from a vintage considered poor to mediocre. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 12/88.
