Chateau Lafite 1986 Chateau Lafite 1986 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe Excellent levels and appearance 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot. I have always been passionate about this wine. A great Cabernet Sauvignon year in the Medoc, giving density and depth. This now has a formidable aniseed nose - fascinating. The exceptional concentration is its 'leitmotif', its flavour dark chocolate and mint. At Christmas 2011, it was the star of the show, trouncing all-comers with its fabulous complexity and in Hong Kong in 2012 it was all deep black fruit. Will last the century. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 17 4 bts (cn) per lot: GBP 2200-2600 per lot: USD 3400-4200 per lot: EUR 2600-3000 Throughout the centuries, Lafite has proved that this is a wine that ages in the most ethereal way. Lafite combines elegance, breed and scent with sustained power, a miracle of balance and nobility. The extraordinary terroir and position in Pauillac have always been matched by the Rothschilds' sense of quality and vision, resulting in a wine that has mythical status. Continuity is vital in producing a great wine and the wine-making brilliance of Charles Chevallier from the 1990s to the present day has added extra lustre to this exceptional liquid, with the fame of the property spreading further throughout the world. When serving Lafite, decant it well in advance of drinking as its bouquet and taste amplify to multi-faceted dimensions on contact with the air. At the Chateau itself, they double decant, back into the original bottle with its unchanging, instantly recognisable label. Lafite matures slowly, developing gloriously with bottle age, as historic tastings have shown. Collect Lafite for yourself and watch it grow!
