Tasting Note
"In 1986 Mouton Rothschild produced the most profound wine of a great northern Medoc vintage. The opaque black/ruby color is sensational, and may be even denser than that of the 1982. The bouquet of minerals, celestial blackcurrants, smoky new oak, and oriental spices seems to explode upward from the glass. On the palate, the wine has incredible concentration, full body, fabulous length, and is..well..perfect. this is an exemplary effort! A compelling wine! An enormously concentrated, massive Mouton-Rothschild, comparable in quality to the 1982, 1959 and 1945." From Oct 2002 tasting: "The 1986 Mouton Rothschild is one of the greatest Moutons ever made. At this tasting it revealed even more opulence than previously."
