Château Lafite-Rothschild 1986
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Original wooden case. Lightly bin-soiled labels. Levels: top-shoulder or better
Tasting note: The 1986 possesses outstanding richness, a deep colour, medium body, a graceful, harmonious texture, and superb length. The penetrating fragrance of cedar, chestnuts, minerals, and rich fruit is a hallmark of this wine. Powerful, dense, rich, and tannic, as well as medium to full-bodied, with awesome extraction of fruit, this Lafite has immense potential. Patience is required. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2030. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition, January 1998
