During a Commanderie de Bordeaux tasting dinner. Clearly past peak. As in so many 86, after 30 years the tannins have finally softened but the little fruit they had is also gone... Tones of mushroom, earth, anise seeds. Was never a fan of neither 86 or 88 Bordeaux.

Anniversary Dinner - 2008 (Home - Minnesota): Clear, with a bit of bricking. Olive tapenade on the nose. Medium bodied palate that's fully resolved but probably past it's prime. Still quite pleasant, particularly given some of the other 1986 duds opened today.

not many notes, for a 86 BX accessible and with a lot of fun factor. 92-93
