  Drinking beautifully. Still plenty of cassis fruit. A suggestion of tobacco, capsicum and mint. Direct and contained. Lovely balance. Clean but savoury on the finish and still some chew.

  It was comparable weaker among other 1986 BDXs, in the dinner in 索罟湾。

  I openned and left in btl for 2 hours to serve. It was better than last time, good BDX nose, smooth palate with good structure and after taste. A popular wine among other 86's in this special dinner.

  Quite refined tannins for a 1986, cassis and black plum with leathery cigarbox notes and a little minty spice.Sorry my only bottle. A-/B+

  I didn't exactly follow my own advice from the last note here. I decanted but not four hours, maybe two. The last glass was of course the best. But it was beautiful right upon opening so I didn't want to lose it. Back in the bottle, and then when we first poured it, it took on a green tobacco highly earthy funk - one taster thought it might even be impacted by TCA. But that seemed not to be the case as it cleaned up nicely over the next two hours, and really was a good wine in the end. But next time 0f ollow the note man! Four hours...
