A SUPERB COLLECTION OF FIRST GROWTH CLARET FROM FINE VINTAGES OF THE EIGHTIES, INCLUDING MARGAUX 1985 AND MOUTON ROTHSCHILD 1986
Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Offered in original wooden cases
Château Margaux--Vintage 1985
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Tasting Note: Tasted twice in cask, June and August 1987: a deep, already fragrant, fleshy wine though mouthfilling with mouth-puckering tannins. At five years of age, those tannins were soft and silky the wine already displaying Margaux's inimitable scent and elegance. Bottled velvet. Nine notes tracing its development through the 1990s, the most revealing at Manfred Wagner's two verticals, the first in 1997, an excellent 'flight' which enabled us to compare the virtues of the decade of the 1980s. For example, the Margaux '85 was less deep and softer looking than the '86, but much more confirmed on the palate. One of my highest notes in this 48-vintage tasting. If anything even more fabulously evolved: sweet, full, rich, with perfect fruit and balance. Dipping back to Kalpan's '85s event in April 2000, it was almost beyond description. 'Soft, feminine yet determined'. Last tasted Nov 2000 ***** Lovely now, many beautiful years ahead. M.B.
