Thursday, April 5, 2012 - Mouton 86 vs Lafite 89 and some other friends (The Papies, Elizabeth St, London): Decanted for 2 hours and decanting is advisable as definitely it helped the wine open up.
Good bottle and cork and this time in singing mode.

I think our earliest TN reflects this wine 100%
"Class, Eleganse and complexity. We could really stop the TN here. The nose is really a journey into a complex set of red fruit, little earth and floral elements. The palate is velvety, layers and layers of beauty.
Wine is still very much alive and vibrant but tannins are well integrated and post 1.5 hours the wine was fully singing. Nothing out of sync or out of balance, purity to the limit. Complex and kept on improving, never loosing any of its vribrancy. Truly magnificent. maybe 98 is low."

Vs the Lafite 89. Outshone the Lafite but anyway the LAfite was never a match for this behemoth.
