Details
Château Margaux--Vintage 1959
Margaux, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Lot 210 level: very top shoulder; lightly corroded capsule torn at top, lightly bin soiled label
Lot 211 level: two very top shoulder, one upper shoulder; château embossed lead capsules, two lightly torn capsules, one sign of old seepage, one wine stained label, lightly bin soiled label
"Despite its deep appearance, already ripe and lovely when first tasted in the 1960s. Mragaux's inimitable perfume and charm noted through the 1970s, no lack of acidity noted. Almost all warranting 5 stars in the 1980s, when it started to look less intense and show more maturity. At best, superb. *****" Michael Broadbent MW, Vintage Wine
