Lot #208. La Lagune 1986

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 91 JG.
"The 1986 vintage at La Lagune is very strong, but like many of the wines from this vintage, this is still a few years away from fully blossoming. The bouquet is already quite first rate, wafting from the glass in a blend of cassis, espresso, cigar ash, dark soil tones, tobacco leaf and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and complex, with a superb core of fruit, still a slight sharp edge to its remaining tannins and excellent length and grip on the well-balanced and still gently chewy finish. Another five years would be ideal for this excellent example of the vintage." John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Jul/Aug 2016, Issue #6
Provenance: The Maquereau Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $95
