Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1986
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
"Most recently, a magnum, still very deep, thick (extract) but with a suprisingly mature orange rim that I associate with tannins dominating the fruit (like some '75's). Very 'medicinal', iron, typically Lafite nose; more amenable than I expected, good mid-palate fruit but hard edged. Something like a '62 or '66. Last noted at a combined children's birthday party at home, Jan 1999 (****) I proposed to leave my children Emma and Bartholomew two magnums each in my will-if Daphne has not drunk them!"
