In 1986 Chateau Margaux and Chateau Mouton-Rothschild produced the two greatest wines in Bordeaux and the vintage offered numerous exciting as well as exhilarating wines of profound depth and exceptional potential for longevity.
The 1986 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux is the second wine of the Margaux estate and performed well in a year when its First Growth parent was described by Robert Parker as "the most powerful,tannic and muscular Margaux made in decades and should prove nearly immortal in terms of ageability".
The last tasting note on 1986 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux on CellarTracker:-
"The wine looks garnet colored.The legs are medium.It smells like strawberry,black currant (cassis),and forest floor.It tastes like forest floor,clove,raspberry,black currant (cassis),and cool menthol with a gamey undertone.The body is medium-full.The wine has smooth texture.The wine finishes long.
So,I'm a sucker for a nice Margaux,but drunk with Christmas dinner of pheasant and venison,this was absolutely spot on.Tasted much more youthful than its years,opened 2 hours before drinking,it was still going strong and evolving 5 hours later".
