Item Description

Exclusive offering of vintage fine wines:

1) Château Palmer 1986 Margaux (Bordeaux Region)
Smooth and succulent, with attractive earth, tobacco and cassis aromas and flavors. Despite its intensity and concentration, it never loses its sense of balance and harmony. The bouquet is characterised by elegant, discreet scents of wild rose and other floral notes blended with hints of spice. Scents of leather and prunes in brandy add to the complexity of a wine of outstanding balance and breed. Blending of vintage 1986 consists of 48% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot.

2) CHÂTEAU LAFITE-ROTHSCHILD red 1986, Premier Cru Classé en 1855, Pauillac AOC, Bordeaux. Monumental WINE! A monumental Lafite, overflowing with tobacco aromas and rich fruit flavors, with a strong backbone of tannin and acid. Best after 2004. The estate's 1986 vintage was particularly perfect, said to be the best of the decade. Now at its peak, the wine is powerful and well structured yet with no trace of heaviness. Hints of cedar, Havana cigars and baked meats tickle the palate and delight the senses. Grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

3) Jordan 1989 Cabernet Sauvignon Library Wine
A clssic wine of the renown Jordan style, artfully crafted, beautifully balanced. Exceptional fruit from Jordan's estate vineyards in Alexander Valley and the winemaker's thoughtful shaping of the 1989 harvest makes this a must-have wine. Delicate fragrances of cassis and berry join spicy scents of black pepper, cardamom and clove. The flavors reflect the aromatic structure with abundant fruit and soft tannins. Enhanced by malolactic fermentation, one year of aging in French and American oak and two years of bottle aging, this Bordeaux style wine will offer pleasure to any wine enthusiast and rewards to those who cellar.
