Château Mouton Rothschild--Vintage 1986
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case, with replacement lid. One damaged capsule, Danish import strips over capsules. In original tissues, good appearance. Levels nine base of neck, three top-shoulder
Tasting note: In the mid to late 1990s, impressive, fragrant, very tannic. In 2003: opaque, intense; a wine of vast dimensions. Two very recent notes: still immature; crisp fruit, taut, bricky; full-bodied, slightly raw but spicy, rich, chewy. Good length, hard tannins. Nowhere near ready. Last tasted Nov 2005. Hopefully *(****) 2010-? M.B.
