Château Margaux--Vintage 1953
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Level: into neck; modern capsule; one of two purchased directly from Paul Pontalier at Château
"...One of the most perfect was a bottle I had bought at a Christie's auction in 1994 and served at my Bordeaux Club dinner in Feb 1998 (cork drawn at 4pm, decanted at 6pm and poured at 8:20pm). It had a lovely, cedary bouquet which, after over an hour in the glass exuded tea-like fragrance. Sweet delicious, still with a firm core, easy to drink, dry finish. Lovely but fading a little at Josh Latner's dinner in January 2000 and, two days later, surprisingly, a lovely bottle at the annual III Form Club dinner at Boodle's Club." Last tasted, Nov 2000. At best ***** MB, Vintage Wine
