Château Margaux--Vintage 1986
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Of the great Margaux vintages I have tasted during my tenure at Christie's, this has proven to be the finest example of it's respective terroir in a given vintage. Other chateaux are excellent in this vintage, but for my dollars the '86 Margaux has the greatest balance of perfume and power of all the Firsts, including '86 Mouton. A shining example of what heights a fine Bordeaux can reach. This wine is just now entering its prime drinking stage. ST
