Petrus 1986
Pomerol · Bordeaux · Mature Collector Vintage
Product Description
Petrus 1986 is a mature Pomerol from a vintage that is not universally considered one of Petrus' greatest, but remains collectible because of the estate's rarity and prestige.
References describe black cherry, truffle, earthy minerality, herbaceous tea, smoke, cherry, and firm structure. Some critic notes mention austerity compared with richer Petrus vintages.
This is a bottle where provenance, storage, fill level, and drinking expectations should be assessed carefully.
Vintage Character
The 1986 vintage shows a firmer and more austere side of Petrus, with mature savoury complexity rather than the plushness of vintages such as 1982, 1989, 1990, 2009, or 2020.
