1986 vintage. Deep ruby with a black center. Small amount of rim variation. On the nose, black fruit, red fruit, vanilla, spice, olive, violets and a hint of cocoa. M+ body, m acid, m/m+ tannin that is round and noticeable. M+ balance! Black fruit and minerality on the palate. The finish lasted over 1 minute! Give at least 30 minutes or more to open up. An Elegant and lovely wine.

Feb 7th, 2015The best way I have ever heard to describe this wine" it is like a drag queen all perfume and lace on the outside but all man underneath" I finally get all the fuss about great aged Margaux!

86 is a great vintage and built to make great old bones. Still so vibrant and youthful. This 86 was intoxicating! A lot more structure and backbone than other Margaux. The texture was round and full bodied but with that firm edge that lets you know this wine was a Queen. Great purity of cassis flavors with layers of complexity expressed by floral, mineral and truffle notes. An extraordinary long precise finish.
