Château Margaux--Vintage 1993
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Lot 98 is offered in original wooden cases. Lot 99: six bottles are offered in an original wooden case and six are offered in a carton
Tasting Note: Since 1978 there have been only two first-growths (or two of the so-called "big eight" of Bordeaux) that have been consistently excellent to superb - Chateau Haut-Brion and Chateau Margaux. Margaux's admirable consistency is well-displayed in the 1993-95 wines. An excellent dark ruby/purple color accompanies a soft, smoky, blackcurrant-scented wine. Although round, generous, sexy, and alluring, the 1993 does not possess enough length to justify an outstanding score, but I would not be surprised to see that develop with another 2-3 years of bottle age. It is a beautifully made, elegant, rich style of Margaux that can be drunk now, or cellared for 15+ years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #88 (Aug 1993)
