Château Margaux--Vintage 1985
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Very good appearance. Levels base of neck or better
Offered in its original wooden case
Tasting Note: Nine notes tracing its development through the 1990s, the most revealing at Manfred Wagner's two verticals, the first in 1997, an excellent 'flight' which enabled us to compare the virtues of the decade of the of the 1980s. For example, the Margaux '85 was less deep and softer looking than the '86, but much more evolved on the nose. In fact a glorious, fruity charmer, confirmed on the palate. One of my highest notes in this 48 vintage tasting. Identical marks at Wagner's next, in November 2000. If anything even more fabulously evolved: sweet, full, rich, with perfect fruit and balance. Dipping back to tKaplan's '85s event in April 2000, it vas almost beyond description. 'Soft, feminine yet determinated'. Nov 2000 ***** Lovely now, many beautiful years ahead. M.B
