(87% cabernet sauvignon, 11% merlot and 2% cabernet franc 13% alcohol, following a bit of saignee or chaptalization of the must from various plots) Bright red-ruby. Wonderfully floral, pure nose offers blueberry, cherry and violet. Juicy, spicy and classic, with berry, floral and spicy flavors that seem to vibrate in the mouth. This boasts remarkable inner-palate perfume. An extremely subtle and discreet wine with excellent balance, very good but not exceptional density, and lovely lingering perfume...

Parker Review: ""Last Tasted 8/92 I continue to be surprised, even shocked, by how evolved and easy to drink this wine is. This might well be another example of a 1985 that turns out to resemble the property's glorious 1953. Mouton's 1985 exhibits a powerful fragrance of herbs, smoke, roasted cassis fruit, and spice...""

Spectator Review: "Greatest wine ever made at this estate. A breathtaking wine to drink now, but please wait. Lots of fruit, spice and tomato character. Full-bodied and very velvety, with a long, flavorful finish. Now or later, it's hard to resist..."

Spectator Review: "A superb, classy wine, with a rich balance of enticing fruit flavors and complex aromas. Medium red-ruby color, with rich tobacco, cedar and truffle aromas; full-bodied, with full tannins and a silky flavorful mouthfeel..."

Parker Review: "The most impressive Lagrange produced in over a decade, the 2000 exhibits an opaque purple color along with a big, smoky nose of new oak intermixed with creme de cassis, cherries, saddle leather, and spice. With medium to full body, high tannin, and impressive richness as well as length, it will be at its finest between 2008-2025."

Parker Review: "...I suspect the 1986 Mouton-Rothschild requires a minimum of 15-20 more years of cellaring; it has the potential to last for 50-100 years! Given the outrageously high prices being fetched by so many of the great 1982s and 1990s (and lest I forget, the 1995 Bordeaux futures), it appears this wine might still be one of the ""relative bargains"" in the fine wine marketplace..."

Parker Review: "Haut-Brion's 1964 is fully mature as evidenced by the amber edge to its color, and has a splendidly rich, earthy, tobacco-and-mineral-scented bouquet. Ripe, deep, supple, voluptuous flavors are present on the palate..."

Parker Review: "The 1959 is unquestionably the greatest Lafite-Rothschild that has approached full maturity. It remains to be seen whether vintages such as 1982, 1986, and 1990 will reach a similar height. The super-aromatic bouquet of flowers, black truffles, cedar, lead pencil, and red fruits is followed by one of the most powerful and concentrated Lafites I have tasted. Medium to full-bodied, velvety-textured, rich, and pure, it is a testament to what this great estate can achieve when it hits...

Parker Review: "Every bit as successful as the 1989, this dark, almost opaque ruby/purple-colored wine exhibits excellent depth, plenty of stuffing and focus, as well as a long, ripe, alcoholic finish. This lavishly rich offering appears to be superior to the fine 1989..."

Parker Review: "The 1998 continues to emulate the style of recent prodigious Haut-Brions. With all due respect to the glorious 1995, the 1998 appears to be the finest wine produced since Haut-Brion's prodigious 1989 and 1990. It reveals more aromatic and flavor dimensions than it did last year. The dense ruby/purple color is followed by classic, developing aromas of minerals, lead pencil, earth, and black cherries/currants. On the palate, additional dimensions and nuances unfold. Tannic and powerful...

Parker Review: "This is potentially the finest wine made under the administration of the Cathiards. The deep ruby/purple color is followed by an elegant melange of floral scents, black cherry liqueur, cassis, minerals, and subtle new oak. The wine hits the palate in layers, with little sense of weight, and nicely integrated sweet tannin. A hallmark of purity, symmetry, and complexity, this beautifully-etched, expansively flavored wine should age well. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2022."
