Château Lafite Rothschild 1986
A plush yet firmly structured wine, still driven by its tannic backbone. It required a full three hours in the decanter to begin revealing its depth and complexity. Some slight bottle variation was noticeable, hardly surprising for a wine of this age.
While already impressive, it feels as though it is only just entering its true window of maturity, with further evolution still ahead. 😋
