1986 Château Mouton Rothschild

Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 31, 2020 - Followed over the course of about 6 hours, this bottle of 86 Mouton seemed to weave in and out of accessibility. At its best, a virile expression of Mouton, showing pure blackcurrant, pencil shavings, and hints of mineral and smoke. At moments this seemed intense and pure, only to quickly retreat back a moment later. Clearly a wine years from its apogee, a rough rating would look something like mid to high 90s, though I am not struck as obviously by superlative greatness as I am with the 1982.
