March 21, 2017 - Dinner at Iggys. Drank alongside the Chevillon Pruliers 1970. This was a really stunningly young wine, and from a vintage like 1986, this really punched well above its weight and vintage reputation. Dark red, with hardly any bricking at the rim. A really copious amount of dark ripe fruit on the nose - cassis, juicy blueberries, and plums. Some smoke, wet rocks, leather emerged after the 2 hour mark. On the palate, a little rough on the edges, but still displaying that juicy dark fruit profile, ripe and opulent and showing incredibly young (most of us guessed 1999!) Hardly any secondary characteristics as yet, there was a firm amount of acid and tannin. I've no doubt this will improve further, unfortunately that was my last bottle. My only gripe was that it didn't seem to evolve much (it cant be closed surely) and appeared slightly boring.
