CHATEAU LAFITE 1986 |

Château Lafite 1986 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé12 hbs - Good levels, appearance, color and clarity, 3 hbs - Good levels, color and clarity69% 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.
