So deep and layered nose. Just wanna dive in and stay there. What a wonderful World. Despite The palate does not fully respect the nose, it is very balanced and integrated. Don’t say 2023 isn’t a good vintage!! 98-99. Elegance. — 9 days ago

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

Initially this was incredibly closed, but after 2 hours in the decanter it’s starting to open, tannic, very structured, very 1986 in its leanness, but incredible depth and length, not perfect, but still outstanding!! — 6 days ago

Lean doesn’t sound so good.

Doug Powers

@Bob McDonald, I personally have mostly felt that 1986 Bordeaux reds have always shown super tight and structured, but without the riper, rounder fruit of other vintages like 1982, 1985, 1989 and 1990) — so, my use of “lean” is really intended to convey that the fruit never completely overcomes the harsh tannins and structure. I would say that after a few hours in the decanter, I’d be pretty confident that it will easily last another 10-20 years, or more. Ultimately I like my Bordeaux to show a little more elegance and charm. Hope that helps.

Bob McDonald

@Doug Powers Thanks for your thoughts Doug. I recall Jancis commenting on this wine “wondering if the tannins would ever resolve”. Obviously built for the ultra long haul. I might try my first one in the next year or so.

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1966

8.9

The ullage was mid-shoulder but cork was intact and color looked decent (dark) in the bottle. Underneath the capsule, the top of the cork was all kinds of nasty (mold). I used a Durand to extract the cork which was completely saturated. The wine was decanted for sediment and presented after about an hour of air. In the glass, the 1966 poured a Burnt Sienna color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with no obvious staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of a bag of Jack Link’s Teriyaki flavor jerky, leather, forest floor, tobacco, dried Japanese plums, dates, tamarind, dried cherries (think Luden’s), and some spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins (integrated) and medium acid. The acid is just barely keeping this thing together right now. The palate is even more tertiary than the nose and low on energy; mostly earth and pu’er tea like flavors. While this wine is very much alive, its life is fading. Fun to enjoy now if you have any in your cellar but I would urge anyone to drink whatever you have sooner than later. — 2 months ago
