Description

CHATEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 1986 - AN OUTSTANDING VINTAGE

This Lafite scored 100 points by Robert Parker in 1998 and also in 2016, the bottle is in great condition as you will see from the images, and the level is into the neck.

This fine bottle has an almost perfect label (tiny nick to the right hand side top right) and a tight capsule. professionally, like all my wines it has been stored since purchased.

Wine searcher currently has an average price of £1094.00 x vat, with some retailers selling this between £1100 to over £1600 per bottle!

So a real bargain, and unlike other auctions, there is no commission to be paid.

It has had some fabulous reviews:

I hadn't had the next wine in a long, long time, and it is still one of the all-time great Lafite-Rothschilds of the last 50 or so years - the 1986. Obviously from my cellar, where it has been since I bought it when it was released, this is a wine that proprietor Baron Eric de Rothschild has always said is one of his favorite Lafite-Rothschilds of the last 100 years. This is a 100-point wine. Still incredibly youthful, but beginning to show some cedar wood, graphite and blackcurrant fruit, the wine is medium-bodied, as many Lafites are, but stunningly concentrated and relatively light on its feet. There is still tannin to resolve, and the wine seems a good decade away from hitting full maturity, which is rather remarkable since it is already 30 years of age!

100 Robert Parker, Hedonists Gazette, May 2016

Tasted at the château, the 1986 Lafite-Rothschild continues to offer an exquisite bouquet at 30 years of age. This is beautifully defined, still full of energy, with copious blackberry, clove, leather and graphite aromas that seem to gain momentum in the glass. The palate is extremely well balanced with a crystalline quality, filigree tannin, perfectly pitched acidity, a quintessential Lafite-Rothschild with a sense of energy and focus undiminished by time. This finish displays immense purity and refinement, one of the most mineral-driven Lafites that I have encountered, whilst the aftertaste seems to linger for over one minute. It must rank as one of the finest wines from the estate. Tasted July 2016.

98 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (228), December 2016

1986 possesses outstanding richness, a deep color, medium body, a graceful, harmonious texture, and superb length. The penetrating fragrance of cedar, chestnuts, minerals, and rich fruit is a hallmark of this wine. Powerful, dense, rich, and tannic, as well as medium to full-bodied, with awesome extraction of fruit, this Lafite has immense potential. Patience is required. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2030. Last tasted 10/94

100 Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (3), November 1998
