Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1986
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case. Corroded capsules, one slightly damaged. Eight in original tissues. Very slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels base of neck or better
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.
