Description

From Parker:
Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition - 93 points
The 1986 Haut-Brion, which I thought should be fully mature by now, remains a backward, highly concentrated, powerful wine with more noticeable tannin than most top vintages. The wine does possesses a tell-tale smoky tobacco and sweet black currant-scented nose, in addition to subtle new oak and minerals scents. This medium to full-bodied, rich, intensely smoky wine has still not reached its plateau of maturity. It is unquestionably the wine of the vintage for Graves, and not far off the pace of the great 1986 first-growth Medocs. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2015. Last tasted 7/97.

The 1986 may not please those people who do not find the smoky, tobacco-scented character of Graves to their liking. This wine is a remarkably concentrated, powerful Haut-Brion that should prove to be extremely long-lived. Very deep in color, with a staggering wealth of fruit and flavor, the huge, smoky, tobacco and mineral-scented bouquet seems to fill the room. Explosively rich, full-bodied, and with gobs of tannin, this classic wine is one of the great stars of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 1995-2015. Last tasted, 6/93.

Wine Advocate # 84 (Dec 1992) 93 points
Of all the Haut-Brions made during Bordeaux's "Decade of the Century," the eighties, this is the most backward wine, and because of that, it requires more time in the cellar. The color is a healthy deep ruby, and the nose exhibits the tell-tale smoky scents of tobacco, minerals, and black fruits. There is considerable tannin, medium to full body, excellent richness, and a long, well-delineated, moderately firm finish. Although most Haut-Brions are delicious young, the 1986 requires another 4-5 years of patience. However, it should turn out to be a classic Haut-Brion and may prove to be longer lived than such renowned vintages of Haut-Brion as the 1982, 1985, and 1989.
