Château Margaux--Vintage 1945
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Bin-soiled labels. Levels: three upper, two mid/upper and one mid-shoulder
Tasting note: A magnificent wine. Nothing fragile and feminine about this '45, atleast 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 hall mark of Margaux, being variously described as ripe mulberry, crystallised violets, cedar cigar box, creamy-and always glorious. On the paltate its initial tannins ameliorating, now soft and velvety. 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 noted in Zurich, November 2000. ***** M.B
