Details
Château Margaux--Vintage 1959
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Levels: two very top, four top, two just below top and four upper shoulder; five bin soiled labels; one corroded capsule
From a bottle tasted from this cellar: A developed colour. A spicy and somewhat smoky nose. Still lots of fruit - prunes steeped in rum, warm and harmonious, delicate palate with exceptional balance. A lacy feeling in the mouth - by no means a blockbuster - but a fabulous rich wine now full of finesse. RB.
