  Not a lot of experience sipping old Margauxs but this came out beautifully. Sediment decanting only, consumed right away. Lovely bouquet with honey, truffles and leather. No burn on the nose. Palette of red currants, rhubarb, mushrooms, nice and earthy. This was a bright and vibrant wine with all tannins aged out. This was a privilege to consume with a 28-day dry aged Kansas City cut at Arthur J in Manhattan Beach.

  This reflects both the terroir and the vintage in my mind. Fortunate to have come across a few of these and some other 1986's from someone elses cellar. Agree with other notes. Musty nose with delicate fruit holding on with good acidity and tannins. Bricking at the edges.

  Dark red core. First impression is quite musty with underlying fruit. Opens with air. Developes body. Fine tannins. Acid a bit too dominant. Better than last bottle.

  More vitality than the bottle I had back in 2016. Still showing the patina of age and with the last vestiges of fruit hanging on by a thread, but with more freshness on the nose and palate. Lovely texture and good range of complex tertiary flavours. Really very enjoyable.

  Au-delà de mes attentes.
  En plein sur son plateau. Un Margaux hédoniste!
