Saturday, November 5, 2016 - First dinner of the L.A. wine trip (The Bazaar at SLS, Beverly Hills, California): An off-bottle, unfortunately. There may have been a hint of TCA, though it wasn’t obviously corked. There was an overpowering marine quality to it. Certainly drinkable, but it’s hard to describe or rate this wine that is so obviously not a typical 1986 Mouton. Still could detect the enormous structure this wine is known for. I will not give this a score, as this was obviously an off-bottle and not a good representative of the 1986 Mouton.
