Renowned as one of the most powerful, long-lived, and structurally monumental vintages of the 20th century, the 1986 under the stewardship of Paul Pontallier masterfully balances Margaux's signature ethereal violet perfume with the formidable depth and muscularity of old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon, preserved with extraordinary freshness and glacial evolution in this large format. The bouquet opens with a captivating, multi-layered perfume of crème de cassis, dried black cherries, and blackberries, seamlessly woven with dried violets, cigar box cedar, graphite, incense, black truffles, and cured leather. On the palate, it is expansive, deep, and aristocratic, wrapping its dense core of dark fruit in resolved, cashmere-textured tannins and a vibrant line of fine gravel acidity that carries into a soaring, endlessly persistent, and regal finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 1986 (Monumental Large Format \/ Impériale)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRegion\/Appellation:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France (Premier Grand Cru Classé)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Château Margaux\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGrape:\u003c\/b\u003e Left Bank Bordeaux Blend (predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Legendary, Regal, Fully Matured, Velvety, Profoundly Complex First Growth Red Bordeaux\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePerfect for (food pairing):\u003c\/b\u003e Classic roast rack of lamb with garlic and rosemary crust, prime dry-aged Wagyu ribeye with truffle butter, pan-roasted squab, or roasted venison loin with juniper berries.
