Wine Advocate#95(10/4/1994) Rating: 95 points Drink:1996 -2010
Tasted 7 Times Since Bottling With Consistent Notes. The 1986 is a highly extracted wine, with a black/ruby color and plenty of toasty, smoky notes in its bouquet that suggest ripe plums and licorice. Evolving at a glacial pace, it exhibits massive, huge, ripe, extremely concentrated flavors with impressive depth and richness. It possesses more power, weight, and tannin than the more opulent and currently more charming 1985. - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (5/31/1989) Score: 93
Smells terrific, with great concentration of berry and cassis aromas, but the prominent tannins tend to cover the flavors, requiring cellaring until at least 1995. On balance, the concentration of fruit wins in the end.
Decanter Rating：
Spicy palate, with lots of ripe fruit. An absolute classic. |
