  This had some funk upon opening, most of which blew off with some air. But there remained a hint of corked-ness, which persisted on the nose throughout the evening. While a distraction, for me it didn't overwhelm the palate. Still youthful in color and very full of fruit. I think a pristine bottle would be exceptional, but this is was just good...

  perfect mid-neck level and good cork, decanted 2 hours, very little sediment, amazing colour for age, deep black red with even hints of purple and almost no brown, even at the rim (air conditioned cellar since en primeur purchase), fine, deep, intense classic Paulliac lead pencils and cedar nose, just lovely, palate also with power and intensity, matches the structure and austerity / dryness typical of ‘86, excellent wine for the year with real class, power and structure, will keep at this level easily for 5+ years

  La première bouchonnée et la deuxième oxydée. Provenant d’un lot de 8 bouteilles achetées en 2010 dans un encan Vintages. Aucune des 8 bouteilles n’a été bue.... toutes défectueuses.... comme quoi il y a un fort risque à acheter dans les ventes aux encheres....

  good level and long intact cork, decanted 2 hours in advance, not a lot of sediment, colour still basically opaque and remarkably youthful, nose classic lead pencils and cedar Pauillac, powerful and really quite virile, palate of medium weight but with intensity and great flavour and length, very nice indeed, excellent now but will maintain this plateau for many years, a classic long-lived Bordeaux

  Cooked and way past its prime. Bad storage i suspect.
