1986 vintage. This is still incredibly young. Telltale lead pencil, cassis, cedar wood. A massive Mouton that just starts to show its potential.

I have had the pleasure of experiencing this vintage a few time and found this time delivered just like the past. Decanted four hours and drank over the next 4+ hours. Classic Bordeaux on the nose with no sings of age. Could this be a 50+ year wine? Red fruit with truffle and Asian spice on the palate. Tannins and acid are nearly perfect with an lingering finish that sails for over a minute. What I find so intriguing is the wine only got better as time went one. Stellar!

Initially thought this might be corked, took 30min for the funkiness to blow off. Nose was neutral after half hr and exploded with black fruit and forrest floor after an hr. Needed 2+ hr decant and didn’t disappoint. Rich with subtle power. Peaking now-to next few yrs.
