Château Margaux--Vintage 1988
Margaux, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Excellent appearance. Levels into neck. In slightly damaged original wooden case
Tasting Note: Most recently, noted at Wagner's second Margaux vertical: still pretty deep; crisp and fragrant, its nose this time not reminding me of damp dogs but thoroughbred stables (I don't ride these days either; but you know what I mean). What did surprise me was that it was softer and more fragrant than I had expected, though lean and astringent after the '98. Nevertheless, a very good wine with considerable length, and future. Last tasted Nov 2000 **(**) Possibly 5-star when fully mature. Say 2010 - 2020. M.B.
