1986 Chateau Margaux
It had a hint of everything – iron, spice, cedar, cinnamon, musk and purple fruits and flowers. Its aromas were so long in an elegant way, but its palate was rich and expansive.
This is a really powerful vintage of Margaux. Just one sip I can feel the overwhelming tannins in the wine, it was so much it doesn't go away even after more than an hour of decanting. I suspect this is going to take another 30 50 years before it reaches it's peak, while the fruits slowly morph itself to be more matured. Kudos to the effort of the wine maker Paul Pontellier, whom I count as friend.
