From the very good 1986 vintage and scoring 86/100 Parker points, "The 1986 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is an offbeat wine that reflects some of the adverse growing conditions of this difficult vintage. It opens to a surprisingly soft and plump flavor profile that might actually lead you to think that the wine is younger than it really is. But that softness translates into a flatter and more horizontal approach in the mouth. This vintage offers less depth and dimension as a result. On the upside, the wine is very nicely intact, although it does not show that Sangiovese freshness and balsamic intensity that is fundamentally the signature of the best Brunellos." Drink now - 2034.

This sweet red wine from the South of France scored 90/100 Parker points by Neil Martin, "The 1986 Rivesaltes from Riveyrac has more complexity and vigor, touches of marmalade and ginger, just a little smudged at first, but it gains clarity while retaining its welcome volatile kick.
