CHATEAU MARGAUX IN MAGNUM
Lying in Corsham, Wiltshire (Octavian)
Château Margaux 1996
Margaux, 1er cru classé
In original wooden cases
Tasting note: An outstanding wine and, as so often, a joy to taste from the start. A high percentage (85%) of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc. Totally different style to the ’95, leaner, spicy, taut fruit, finesse. Good nose, dumb at first but developed lovely fragrance; good flavour and length but tannic and unready. Last tasted June 2003 **(***) Now-2030. MB
