Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 94
The Romanee-Conti is very backward in 1986. The fabulous nose of oriental spices, new oak, and ripe fruit is amply displayed, but on the palate the wine is tight, hard, and very rich but still mostly inaccessible. It has a smashingly long finish and should be drinkable between 1993 and 2010. This is among the few superstars of this vintage, but the 1986 is not for drinking soon-patience is most definitely required.
Allen Meadows, Burghound 88
Definite bricking but with a still ruby core. An expressive nose that is fully secondary but not tertiary runs to a spicy sauvage character with dried rose petal, roasted herbs and hints of smoke and soy that merge into middle weight flavors that are finer but less powerful than those of the '87 with a finish that is beginning to exhibit signs of impending dryness and as such, it's time to begin drinking the '86 in earnest. To be sure, this will continue to hold up without difficulty but it won't necessarily be to the good as the present mild astringency will only increase with time. Despite this nit, the '86 manages to remain stylish and sophisticated.
