Details
Château Lafite-Rothschild 1986
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case. Nine in original tissues with pristine labels. One without tissue with stained label. Levels: all into-neck
Tasting note: First noted at the Union des Grands Crus tasting at Christie’s in 1988. It showed well. Good depth of fruit, long but lean and taut. Four recent notes; trying to mature; fragrant but hard; crisp, citrus like fruit, nd tannic. Refreshing. Unready (1996). Still fairly intense; low-keyed. Slightly peppery, just waking up; some sweetness, but with teeth-gripping tannins (tasted blind 1998). Most recently: impressively deep; very good nose, considerable depth and more to come; unexpectedly sweet and ready to drink though will keep well. Last tasted March 2006 ***(*) MB
