Description

'This wine remains backward, tannic, and in need of another 5 or more years of bottle age. The 1986 Ducru possesses a dark ruby color with purple nuances. Initially the bouquet is restrained, but with coaxing it reveals scents of lead pencil, sweet cranberry and black currant fruit nicely intertwined with aromas of steel, minerals, and earth. Rich and medium to full-bodied, but excruciatingly tannic, this is an intensely concentrated Ducru-Beaucaillou with formidable aging potential. Readers should note that 1986 is the first vintage where some bottles were marred by off-aromas of damp cardboard. The last three times I tasted the wine the bottles were totally pure, with no evidence of this disturbing irregularity. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2030. Last tasted 3/97 92pts'

Robert Parker
Drink: 2002 - 2030

'Similar colour to the 1985 but more youthful on the rim. The nose is quite muted with scents of dried blood and oyster shells. The palate has similar concentration to the 1985 but far more cohesive and well knit. Dense inky black fruits with cooked meats. Quite complex with sharp acidity. The mid-palate lacks some vigour but the finish is long and smoky. A very fine masculine 1986. Drink over 10 years. Watch out for defective bottles though (hence the question mark.) Tasted November 2003. 91-93pts'
