Description
Robert Parker: At 16 years of age, this wine continues to tastemore like a 5 to7-year-old Bordeaux. The color is a handsome darkruby with just a bit of pink at the edge. The wine exhibits sweetred and black currant fruit intermixed with wet stones, spice, andflowers. Medium-bodied and still moderately tannic, but veryconcentrated, this firmly structured, slightly austere wine hastremendous upside to it. By the way, this was the first vintagewhere I began to notice on some bottles the wet cement/dampcardboard aromas that were far more increasingly evident in thesubsequent vintages, 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1990. Interestingly, thelast five times I have tasted the 1986 Ducru-Beaucaillou, they weretotally pristine bottles.
