Critic tasting note: (1986 vintage) "Better on the nose than on the palate with its austere, rustic edge to its tannins, there is a wealth of ripe fruit, but the finish is a bit rough around the edges. This is best for tasters longing for days gone by. Give it air, and, or time. Drink from 2022-2040." - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

1986 is an astonishing vintage; its very slow development in a way reminds us of the previous generation's wines. Its tannic structure is very tight-knit, very dense and softens only very slightly from year to year. The bouquet is starting to open up; however, we feel that it is still only showing a limited part of its enormous potential. It is full and rich on the palate, still a little bit firm. Should we drink it?...A great vintage, but which seems to belong to another, older era. (October 2018)

Vintage quality: Good
Current condition: Likely past it
The 1986 vintage for Bordeaux was relatively difficult but some excellent wines were still made.
The growing season began with a particularly cold winter, although biting frosts were, thankfully, kept to a minimum. Spring was slow to arrive, with conditions remaining per...
