The Grands Echezeaux has super color, a great nose of intense, smoky, exotic Pinot Noir fruit, full body, and plenty of extract as well as tannins. Not as forward as either the 1985 or 1987, the 1986 Grands Echezeaux should be at its best between 1994 and 2008. This is among the few superstars of this vintage, but the 1986 is not for drinking soon-patience is most definitely required.
