Year 1986 Wine

The 1986 vintage is celebrated for its exceptional quality, particularly in Bordeaux and California, where the growing season was marked by ideal weather conditions—warm days and cool nights. This vintage produced robust reds with rich, ripe fruit flavors—think dark cherries, plums, and earthy undertones—alongside well-integrated tannins. Many wines from this year demonstrate remarkable aging potential, evolving complexity over decades, making them highly sought after by collectors.
