Lot 8 Details
CHÂTEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD 1986

Pauillac. 1er Cru Classé
u. vts. scraped, stained & wrinkled label. scuffed capsule.

The palate is beautifully balanced with its trademark firm tannic structure, a Mouton-Rothschild with backbone and masculinity. Layers of black fruit intermingling with mint and graphite, a hint of licorice emanating from the Merlot, gently fanning out and my God, it is incredibly long. It is not like the 1985 Mouton-Rothschild that is so fleshy and generous. This is serious, aristocratic Mouton, a true vin de garde and yes, I do think drinkers will have to wait until it reaches its true peak. Sometimes that's just the way it is. Tasted September 2016. Tasted September 2016. Drink to 2050 WS 99 WA 100

1 bt.    per lot $800 - $1,000
