Mouton Rothschild 1986 6000ml

Château Mouton Rothschild's 1986 is one of the legendary Pauillac vintages of the modern era, and this six-liter Imperial is a rare way to experience it. Famously closed and fiercely tannic for decades, the wine has finally blossomed, earning perfect 100-point scores from Jeb Dunnuck, James Suckling, Wine Advocate and Vinous, plus 99 from Wine Spectator and 98 from Jane Anson. Dunnuck described it as "pure Bordeaux gold today," noting pure black currant, scorched earth, graphite, tobacco leaf and roasted coffee over a massive, concentrated mid-palate and polished tannins. The large format slows its evolution even further, so this bottle should drink beautifully for decades to come.
