Details
Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1986
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Levels into neck
Tasting note: Deep garnet-black colour. An incredible array of aromas on the nose: blackberry, black cherry, tobacco, espresso, leather, black olive and loam. The palate is absolutely seamless from first impression to finish, effortlessly building layers of complexity in the mouth and leading to a very long, earth and spice finish. I cant see how this could possibly be improvement so have no alternative but concede perfection. Drink now to 2045+. Tasted March 2009. 100 points. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, In Asia #0509, May 2009.
