PRISTINE 1986 LAFITE AND OLDER MADEIRA
From a long time friend of Christie's, this small consignment was stored professionally in New York. Large format Bordeaux follows up the cases and then, for the sweet tooth, there is some rare 19th-century Madeira.
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1986
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 557 levels: into neck, pristine bottles
Lot 558 levels: into neck; tissue stained labels, one nicked capsule
Both lots in original wooden cases
"The '86 Lafite was a bit closed at first, and when it began to open seemed surprisingly evolved, with signs of maturity, not incommensurate with age, but nevertheless showing developed cigar box and cocoa aromas on the nose. On the palate there was great intensity and verve after an initial reticence followed by a lovely finish. Delicious wine." CC, November 2009
