1986 Ch. Lafite Rothschild

A dry wine with almost deep purple colour. It has almost pronounced intensity aromas of blackcurrant, violet, black cherry, smoke, cedar, pencil box and touch of forest floor. Medium acidity, alcohol and fairly full bodied. Tannin is at medium level and soft and smooth in nature. On palate, it gives slightly higher than medium intensity flavours of red cherry, violet, licorice, cedar and touch of pine. Fairly long length with cherry and pine finish. (94)

 86年酒我說它仍年青是有點難以置信的，但這酒卻說給你知它仍須時間發展。酒香接近完美，香氣的力度及複雜性都十分出色。口感工整柔順。酒味在口中複雜性不降了點，餘韻亦比想像中短了點，但已是一枝出色的酒。不妨多藏幾年，應有更好的品飲回報。
