Lot Details

Description

Château Lafite 1986

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u.bn, nicked label, scuffed capsule, slightly sunken cork

69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot. In 2020, this has astounding projection on the nose, highly scented and unmistakably noble. On the palate, elegance married to power, with magisterial depth and flavour. Fills the mouth with great glycerol - a very profound statement and sheer bliss on the hedonistic scale. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
