Offered in original wooden cases
Château Margaux--Vintage 1990
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Excellent appearance. Levels into neck
Tasting note: Even in cask, lean, stylish and supple, its inimitable aroma, raspberry-like, quick to evolve. Developing well through that decade, fragrant, fleshy. At ten years of age, rich nose of great depth; sweet, well constituted, excellent length. Most recently: plummy, deep core but starting to mature; very fragrant bouquet; lovely flavour, excellent balance but very tannic - needed food, and more time. Last tasted May 2005 ***(*) 2008-2020 M.B.
