89 Vinous
The 1966 Pichon-Lalande is a vintage that I have encountered two or three times before. It has an expressive bouquet of autumn leaves, pencil box, woodbines and a touch of black tea. The palate is well balanced and quite mellow with a fine bead of acidity. It feels fresh and poised, but very old-school and a little more rustic than other bottles I have tasted. Maybe it has lost the vigor that it showed a decade ago, but it remains a commendable wine. Tasted at the Pichon-Lalande vertical at the château. Neal Martin1st August 2019

Now ready to drink, this moderately dark ruby-colored wine has a rich, toasty, peppery, somewhat minty bouquet, and firm, fleshy, tannic flavors. Medium bodied, with good concentration, as well as the austerity that marks the vintage, the 1966 Pichon Lalande should be drunk over the next decade. Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted, 3/88.Robert Parker1st January 1998
