CHATEAU LAFITE 1986 |

Château Lafite 1986 Pauillac, 1er Cru ClasséAll levels bn or into the neck, scuffed and corroded capsules, 2 slightly raised corks69% 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. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 10012 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
