1986; Won the cork lottery on this impeccable bottle, mint, leather, dark red fruits. Post No. 2900. Slow oxidation, +24H. @Delectable Wine It would be great if really good wines would Trend again, as opposed to literally anything that could be 'purchased' via the Shop Banquet platform, it's just wrong and against the beautiful Community we have here. Just my 2¢.

Nose has ripe plum, cut red cherry, black currant, dried blackberry, shaved milk chocolate, old pipe tobacco, moist leather, dry oak firewood, wet oak barrel with fading volatile acidity on the initial attack. Palate has blackberry juice, over-ripe plum, dried black currant, over-ripe black cherry, wet garden soil, dried tomato with a lightly drying finish and still showing mild tannins. A recent acquisition, provenance is good but this bottle seems lightly undeveloped on the palate still, decanted 3H. Paired to Allen Bros. rib caps, cast iron pan oven pre-heated then 1/2 stick of non-salted butter over the stove with constant basting, 5M to a beautiful medium rare. Served alongside our garden smashed potatoes, nothing finer than the vegetables we labor. Wine Spectator: 97 points Top 100: 1989, Rank: 2

Perfumed dusty rose, red cherry, red plum. Odd descriptors for a Pauillac but this showed like something different. Tannins perfectly integrated but still present, great acid, some rubber and petrol, but roundness of flavor and a long finish. Some tasters thought it might be a soft CdP. just amazing texture and body, can go on a few year- it was still evolving in the glass

Gorgeous for 90 minutes, then the brett won the battle.

1986 vintage. Open-not decanted-for approx 2.5 hours before tasting. No longer tight as nails but at the top of its' respective game. Rocking now and for the foreseeable next 7-8 years without any discernible downturn. 8.25.23.

Lovely, bright fruit, cedary. Not immediately classic Pauillac for me but fell very much into “expectation” after two hours. Excellent.
