VERY RARE CHATEAU MARGAUX 1945
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Margaux--Vintage 1945
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Slightly damaged short capsules. One badly damaged, faded and stained and one remains of faded and stained label. Levels one mid/upper and one low-shoulder
Tasting Note: A magnificent wine. Nothing fragile and feminine about this 1945, at least 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 hallmark of Margaux, being variously described as ripe mulberry, crystallised violets, cedar cigar box, creamy and always glorious. On the palate its initial tannins ameliorating, now soft and velvety. Still showing at it's magnificent best. Nov 2000 ***** M.B.
