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

So excited to drink this. Leathery, pipe tobacco on the nose. Forrest floor, old attic mildew, dusty, decomposing musty leaves. Stringent. Tastes like a old leather bound book you found at your grandparents and were like, “what’s that?” and pulled it from its shelf and instead got a face full of dust. But you love it. I love this. It’s everything I love about an old Bordeaux— pure decomposed earth. I would love to pet a lovely, giant Scottish Deerhound while drinking this— a dog as regal and mythical as this wine.

Had this iconic wine from a 3L bottle. What a great experience.
This 19 year old, is dense, rich, elegant, and young with huge tannins.
Showing a phenomenal nose.
Dry on the palate with wood, vegetables, black fruits, earth notes, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and leather. So complex.
Can't even say how many years are in it still, Maybe 50?
12.5% alcohol by volume.
95 points.

From half bottle, silky smooth, classic Paulliac cedar and graphite with a touch of kirsch and leather. Beautiful now.
