Description

Still tasting like a barrel sample, the 1986 Mouton Rothschild is a monumental Bordeaux that will undoubtedly outlive anybody alive today. Amazingly youthful, with a dense purple color, it is an extraordinary wine that should age for a century or more. Tasted blind, I would have guessed it to be a 2-3 year old first-growth Bordeaux.

Tasted by johnh1001 on 9/23/2012 & rated 96 points: Double decanted and drank over 2 hours. My second time with this wine this year. It is so incredibly huge I still can't get over it. Giant black and red fruit aromas on the nose along with wood, leather and some spice an smoke. More red fruit and dark fruit on the palate with a mocha background. Huge in the mouth. Big tannin but easily matched by the fruit. Even after a few hours this was still holding back. Super long finish with strong tannin and fruit. I want to drink this again tomorrow but waiting 10 years to do it again is the right call.

Tasted by jamie24 on 9/10/2012 & rated 95 points: decanted for 7 hours and consumed over the following 6 hours. still improving at the end. still deep purple with very little sign of ageing at the rim... incredibly youthful for a 26 year old wine. wonderful sense of symmetry and precision but i still feel something is being held in reserve. won't touch any of my remaining 9 bottles for a few years.

Tasted by Jeff Leve on 8/6/2012 & rated 97 points: Smoke, cassis, truffle, brown sugar, lead pencil, cherry blossoms, smoke, Asian spice, caramel and light chocolate with mint create the perfume. Big, powerful, full bodied with dense textures, chalky tannins and the structure to age for several more decades without trouble, there is a lot of intense, spice and cassis meshed with tannins remaining to be resolved. The wine was decanted 4 hours prior to serving. I am not a fan of long decants. But 1986 Mouton Rothschild demanded it. In fact, it continued improving in the glass for the next few hours. Even though the wine is 26 years old, another 5-10 years is required before it begins to show its best.

Tasted by ewsb on 5/4/2012 & rated 98 points: AHA - A dinner with Mouton (Washington DC - Mellon Auditorium): Smooth and velvety with moderately heavy tannins. This was the best of the night.A light hint of berries on the nose.

Tasted by Chainthroer on 4/26/2012 & rated 97 points: Tasted blind with wine friends at our annual NFL Draft get together. Fragrant aromas of blackberry, black current, black cherry, cigar box, a touch of graphite, chocolate, cedar and an ever so slight touch of pleasant barnyard - highly complex. Great structure and balance. A creamy/velvety texture in the mouth. Highly concentrated. A long silky finish. Monumental stuff.

Tasted by Trickyone on 4/15/2012: This bottle was glorious from the beginning. It was also decanted about 3 hours before the event, and the scent went from wonderful to spectacular. Beautiful deep color to the rim, with no indication of its age. No earthiness that can show up in older wines--just soft, clean, clear fruit with a finish that went on forever.
