Château Lafite 1986 (6 MAG)

Château Lafite 1986

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Excellent levels, labels 1 slightly wrinkled, 2 very slightly scuffed, capsules slightly scuffed by case dividers, damaged lid, Taiwan importer's back labels

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

69%卡本納蘇維翁，16%卡本納弗朗，15%梅樂。2020年品嚐，鮮明的香氣赫然而至，高貴馥郁。口感典雅而氣魄不凡，深度和味道中隱含君臨天下般的莊嚴。酒液如甘油一樣滑過咽喉，醇厚順滑。此酒深不可測，有如酒神餽贈。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）

WA評分：100

1986年的拉菲佳釀依然馥郁誘人...... 個性鮮明，生機蓬勃，黑莓、丁香、皮革和石墨香在杯中盡情舒展，愈久彌香。口感平衡，剔透，丹寧精緻，酸度適中，體現典型的拉菲古堡風韻，當中蘊藏的力量能夠經受時間考驗。收結純淨細膩，在我品嚐過的拉菲佳釀中，擁有數一數二的濃郁礦物氣息，餘韻綿延超過一分鐘之久。屬於拉菲酒莊的頂級瑰釀。品酒人：PARKER

Provenance

Sotheby’s is honored to offer Part II of The Classic Cellar of an Important Asian Collector. 

Immersed in the vibrant world of hospitality and gastronomy from a young age, the collector has cultivated a sophisticated palate, a deep appreciation for classic wines, and an unwavering commitment to quality. A successful entrepreneur and esteemed wine connoisseur, he is also renowned as a hotel and restaurant operator. His discerning taste shines through in this exceptional collection. 

This remarkable collection features some of the most exquisite Bordeaux Classified Growths and gems from legendary vintages such as Mouton Rothschild 1982, Latour 1982 and Petrus 1989. It also includes distinguished Champagnes from renowned houses such as Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1995 and Krug Clos du Mesnil 1990. Complementing these are wines from the iconic Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, spanning the late 1980s to 1990s. Offered in generous parcel quantities, this collection is a true celebration of elegance, tradition, and excellence.

Most of the collection has been acquired over the past three decades from UK and local wine merchants. Almost 100% of the wines were purchased more than 20 years ago. Vintage 1995 and onwards such as Mouton Rothschild and Comte de Champagne were mostly ordered and purchased on release in parcel quantities. The wines have been professionally stored in two professional, temperature-controlled cellars in Taipei since.
