1986 Château Mouton Rothschild

Friday, October 15, 2021 - Firm, fiercely tannic, strict, and young, this bottle remains stubbornly adolescent. Incredibly concentrated, powerful, long and intense, this is a modern-day version of the 1928, which took 50-60 years to come around. Younger consumers with patience should take a good look at this. Provided that youth and patience can get along.

I couldn’t afford the $100 a bottle price tag on release, so I downloaded 9 of the 12 bottles I bought (it was either diapers or wine 😳 at that time) and that’s life. I’ll drink my final bottle in 2036 celebrating my 85th birthday. Cheers! 🍷
