Avis d'expert

91 / 100

Wine Spectator

(05-1989)
Remarkably intense and lean with spicy cedar, red cherry, plum and currant flavors that are crisp, ripe and rich. Has the tannic structure for long aging.

90 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(01-1998)
The percentage of new oak casks used at Haut-Bages-Liberal was increased and the selection process tightened, and the result in 1986 is their finest wine since the 1975, and certainly one of the best wines ever made at the property. Dark rubypurple, with an expansive bouquet of plums, sweet toasty oak, and black currants, this dense, full-bodied, chewy wine has a suppleness that will allow it to be drunk in the early nineties. But it also has the balance, richness, and tannin content to age well for at least another 20 years.
