Château Margaux 1945
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Shipped by Hedges and Butler. One slightly corroded capsule. Bin-soiled labels. Levels: one upper-shoulder, one mid-shoulder
Tasting note: A magnificent wine. Nothing fragile and feminine about this 1945, 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 hallmark 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. The climax of two Bordeaux Club dinners (at Caius, Cambridge, 1996, and at John Jenkins Jacobean Childerley Hall Oct 2000). 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. Last tasted in Zurich, Nov 2000 ***** M.B.
