Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Château Margaux--Vintage 1900
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Recently recorked. Cork stamped Pillet-Will. Slightly damaged embossed metal capsule. slightly stained and bin-soiled Pillet-Will label, good for age. Level into neck
This bottle is one of two bought by the current owner from De Luze in the late 1980s. They originate from the famous stock of old wines that belonged to the French chain Nicolas which was owned by De Luze at that time. Since this purchase the bottle has lain undisturbed in a exemplary private wine cellar on the Continent
Tasting Note: The finest Margaux of the century. I first tasted it in 1969, its bouquet reminding me, among other things, of deep, rich Burgundy......Margaux at its very best; sweet, still perfectly balanced, the flavour many-layered. The lovliest of drinks. Last tasted March 2001. All ***** M.B.
