Château Margaux--Vintage 1991
Margaux, 1er cru classé
1991 was the year of the great spring frost on 21st April. The cold delayed vine growth until the end of May. But an extraordinarily hot, dry summer allowed the vegetation to catch up and brought this very small harvest to an excellent level of ripeness. Unfortunately, heavy rain just before the harvest took the shine off what would have been a remarkable vintage. (The picking began on 30th September)
Tasting note:
Starting to mature; nose initially chocolatey but opened up fragrantly, but after two hours in the glass, completely faded. Decent flavour, reasonably complete, drinking well enough. Last tasted Nov 2000 ***. MB
