“The late Michel Delon always thought that this was the greatest vintage he had produced. We often tasted it side by side with the 1982 the 1986 is a monument to classicism, with great tannin, extraordinary delineation, and a huge, fullbodied nose of sweet, ripe cassis fruit intermixed with vanilla, melon, fruitcake, and a multitude of spices. The wine has always been phenomenally concentrated, yet wonderfully fresh and vigorous. It still seems young a great example of LovilleLas Cases.
