96 Points Robert Parker.
"Still tasting as if it were only 7-8 years of age, the dense, garnet/purple-colored 1986 Gruaud Larose is evolving at a glacial pace. The wine still has mammoth structure, tremendous reserves of fruit and concentration, and a finish that lasts close to a minute. The wine is massive, very impressively constituted, with still some mouth-searing tannin to shed. Decanting of one to two hours in advance seems to soften it a bit, but this is a wine that seems to be almost immortal in terms of its longevity. It is a great Médoc classic and certainly one of the most magnificent Gruaud Larose ever made. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2035." A 2003 review from the great Robert Parker.
Most current reviews are in the mid to high 90's on the points scale. With Parkers very high score plus 10 years left in the tank to drink makes these three excellent condition bottles in high demand.
