1986 Chateau Lagrange - Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé - 2 Bottles (0.75L)

2 bottles of Chateau Lagrange 1986 Grand Cru Classé Saint-Julien Here is a classic example of a wine that is showing significantly more complexity and richness from the bottle than out of cask, although it was certainly a potentially outstanding wine when tasted from the barrel. In a vintage that produced a number of enormously structured, rich, concentrated wines, Lagrange is another of the blockbuster wines that seems capable of lasting 30-35 years. Black/ruby in color, with a closed but burgeoning bouquet of spicy new oak, black fruits, and flowers, this muscular, full-bodied, tannic wine is packed with fruit and is clearly one of the great long-distance runners from this vintage. I admire how the significant investment made by the Japanese owners in this property has paid off with a thrilling, albeit amazingly backward, wine. The finest Lagrange to date! Anticipated maturity: Now-2025. Always stored in a climatised celler under humidity and temperature control. Secured shipment with additional insurance against damage and loss.
