| Tasting note |
Tasted from my cellar, the 1986 has consistently been outstanding, falling short of being sublime. The spicy, peppery bouquet reveals aromas of dried herbs and red currant fruit. Medium-bodied, austere, but youthful, vigorous, and concentrated, this wine still requires 4-5 years of cellaring. It is surpassed in this vintage by its rivals, Lafite-Rothschild and Mouton-Rothschild. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020. |
