CHATEAU MARGAUX 1986
A good bottle of the 1986, with a nice label, tight capsule, and a level of Top Shoulder.
The capsule has been nicked as you will see in the images, but shows no signs of seepage as the small part of the exposed cork is dry, again, seen in the images.
A magnificent example of Château Margaux and one of the most tannic, backward Margaux of the last 50 years, the 1986 continues to evolve at a glacial pace. The colour is still a dense ruby/purple with just a hint of lightening at the rim. With several hours of aeration, the aromatics become striking, with notes of smoke, toast, crème de cassis, mineral, and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, with high but sweet tannin, great purity, and a very masculine , full-bodied style, this wine should prove nearly immortal in terms of its aging potential. It is beginning to budge from its infantile stage and approach adolescence. Anticipated maturity:2008-2050.
