bringing superb freshness and vibrancy to this wine

The vineyard is run to a sustainable process with the target to convert into an organic process in few years’ time

and the wine has a fabulous builders' lime streak which directly reflects the flavour of the chalky 'albariza' soils in which it's grown

Bouquet wonderfully exuberant and vibrant with jams and sweet ripe fruits aromas

the sunshine lasted throughout the summer with a record amount of sunshine

Chateau Lafite-Rothschild 1986 antoniolo bringing superb freshness and vibrancy1986 produced a plentiful harvest of high quality deep garnet in color, concentrated but rather light, and with a remarkable tannin. In a word, it was a great combination of vintage 1945 and 1949. It is a very good vintage with considerable potential that is destined for a long evolution.
