CHÂTEAU LAFITE 1986

Château Lafite 1986

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Good levels, 1 label darker than the other, US slip labels, one of which slightly damp stained, capsules slightly wrinkled

69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot. In 2019, this is grand Lafite in all its majesty. Highly scented and magically noble, the great dimension on the palate is pure Lafite, the elegance masking the power of both the property and the vintage. We drank it with the Margaux 1986 and there were similarities in the black fruit depth of both wines. On New Year's Day 2020, one feels that this is still emerging, becoming more magisterial every time one goes back to it, while never losing its innate breed. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
