Description
Château Lafite 1986
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
Levels into the neck; labels damp-stained, 1 loosely adhered; capsules slightly scuffed; wines come from 3 different importers,
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.
