1986 Chateau Lafite Rothschild;
Ruby with garnet rim, A level fill. Closed, some coffee, very youthfull, sweet tobacco, flurts the hell out of you, who can say only Burgundies seduce! Hints of cigars, blackcurrants, prunes underneath, pure, floral, great and playfull acidity, tannins grips the tongue, playing with it, marvelous structure, fantastic length and such complexity, ever increasing, decanted for at least four hours, and even so needed a couple of hours to really settle in the glass. Will last another 20 years easily. On the other hand, if anybody in Asia reads this, it's crap, do not buy, and if you have a case, please just ship it to me, I can take care of it for you. 100
