Château Mouton-Rothschild 1986
11 bottles per lot
A SUPERB COLLECTION OF FINEST BORDEAUX Recently removed from a temperature and humidity controlled cellar in Europe and now lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD) Château Mouton-Rothschild 1986 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Original tissues. Damp affected, badly bin-soiled labels. Levels: nine base of neck, two top-shoulder In original wooden case Tasting note: Deserving its reputation as outstandingly the best ’86. Certainly a spectacular wine from my first encounter in 1989: vivid purple; intense varietal fragrance; packed tight with fruit. Of my most recent notes: impressive bottles at the Mouton dinner at Brook’s in 1994. Nose peppery at first, then it sprang to life; on the palate the sweetness of ripe grapes and alcohol. Full-bodied, full flavoured, fabulous fruit, very dry finish. Deep but no longer opaque; ripe Cabernet scents; ‘deep, rich, tannic, long life’ (Mouton event in 1998). 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 November 2005. Hopefully *(****) Now-? – M.B. 11 bottles per lot
