Long Term Pre-arrival  sales ensure you’re getting the best possible price and that you have also secured the product before it hits the normal retail supply chain. The lead time for Pre-arrival goods is generally 4–8 months, sometimes longer based on supply chain and the logistics of transporting goods overseas. The expectation, from our team, is to communicate to the customer the location of their purchase every step of the way.

The 1986 Lafite Rothschild was tasted twice, once from bottle at the château and then from imperial at the Académie du Vin dinner. It is an awesome Pauillac that has finally reached its drinking plateau. The nose is so vibrant yet beautifully controlled, black fruit commingling with graphite, cedar and just a touch of juniper. Wonderful delineation, though it needs 15 to 20 minutes to really cohere. The palate is taut and fresh with a keen thread of acidity. It is not a powerful First Growth (Lafite rarely is), but there is astonishing balance to its layers of cedar-infused black fruit. Touches of allspice and pencil shavings emerge towards the sustained finish. Magnificent.
