Château Margaux--Vintage 1989
Margaux, 1er cru classé
1989 will long be remembered as an exceptionally early vintage and a very easy one, from a vine-growing point of view. The flowering, then the colour-change and the ripening all took place in perfect weather, which was particularly hot and dry. Finally, there was not one single day of rain during the harvest. From beginning to end, then, 1989 was a dream year. (The picking began 11th September)
Tasting note:
Most recently, from a jeroboam: very deep, almost opaque, cherry-tinged but maturing; singed, spicy bouquet; drier than expected, stern, firm but with very good flavour. Last tasted Oct 2001 ****(*) 2010-2025. MB
