Château Margaux--Vintage 1945
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Offered in a carton. Bin-soiled label. Level top-shoulder
Tasting Note: A magnificent wine. Nothing fragile and feminine about this '45, at least not in its early years. From the start very deep in colour with a beautiful richness and intensity ; and in the 1970s with Latour-like massiveness and tannin. Its fragrance, the hall mark of Margaux, being variously described as ripe mulberry, crystallised violets, cedar cigar box, creamy-and always glorious. On the palate its initial tannins ameliorating, now soft and velvety. A vivacious and fabulously fragrant bottle at the Sveass dinner and showing at its magnificent best at both of Wagner's Margaux tastings, in 1997 and 2000. ***** M.B
