Friday, November 19, 2021 - 1986 Bordeaux plus some supplements (Restaurant Brunnenstube, Beinstein): From a perfect bottle. Decanted for ~ 4h. Clear, deep ruby color with even some purple reflexes. Very youthful! Pronounced, developing and powerful nose. Violets, black currant, fine oak, spices. Very dense and youthful nose! After 35 years it has not even fully developed much tertiary notes and just has some reminiscent smell of pencil shavings.
On the palate wonderful acidity, the mellow and ripe tannin is still very high and gives the wine a youthful grip. Wonderful pure red and dark fruit. Great tension, pressure and depth, very good texture. This is unbelievably young! And it could very well earn a perfect score once the tannin has been fully integrated and it develops a bit more complexity through tertiary notes and some more elegance. Nevertheless already a brilliant wine! 96++
