Pichon-Lalande’s dense ruby/purple-colored 1986 still has the color of a 4 or 5 year old wine

who has signed the owners of these well-placed vineyards in selected micro-climates in Napa Valley to long (quarter of a century) contracts

this prodigious 2001 is drinkable now and over the next 25+ years given this estate’s longevity track record

The fruit is easily recognizable and this is no coincidence since a bottle contains the equivalent of fourteen kilograms (nearly 31 pounds) of Williams Pears

no hard edges
