Château Margaux--Vintage 1953
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Level: upper shoulder
"One of the most perfect was a bottle I had bought at a Christie's auction in 1994 and served at my Bordeaux Club dinner in Feb 1998 (cork drawn at 4 pm, decanted at 6 pm and poured at 8:20 pm). It had a lovely, cedary bouquet which, after over an hour in the glass exuded tea-like fragrance. Sweet, delicious, still with a firm core, easy to drink, dry finish. Lovely but fading a little at Josh Latner's dinner in January 2000 and, two days later, suprisingly, a lovely bottle at the annual III Form Club dinner at Boodle's Club. Last tasted Nov 2000. At best *****" MB, Vintage Wine
