Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 16, 2011 - Papies LWE - Mouton 86 vs Cos 86 and some other friends (The Papies, Elizabeth St, London): The bottle variation in this wine is massive to the point that it makes us worried a bit. We had our share of pain in the past with Mouton 86 and its brittle corks etc. But this is a proper full case. Complete in great shape and even with the original wrapping papers from the chateau ( If anyone collects these drop us an email and will send you one as we have a couple extra). In general cork condition has always been a let down with moutons in our mind even the 1990 had issues. We wonder if its just our luck

The one we opened in November ( pls see previous tasting note) was light years better than this one. Back to the one in question, bottom of neck, fully wet but solid cork with a bit of rot(?) just under the capule.

Wine is a youngster still and is still tight and reserved with good level of tannins. Maybe just coming out of its sleep. 2 hours of decanting minimum. For tasting note and grade pls see out previous TN from 16 Nov 10. This bottle wasnt up to speed.
