Details
Château Margaux 1983
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Not in original wooden cases. Badly bin-soiled labels, slightly damaged. Levels into neck
Tasting notes: Two very recent notes within a month. The first, in magnum: a very deep core, rich legs, lively and still youthful; initial burst of fragrance but sweaty tannins, then a whiff of tar and coffee. Mouth-drying tannins yet seemed to get softer in the glass. ‘Needs 20 years’. Next, in bottle, richly coloured; classic bouquet with Margaux’ inimitable scent; delicious fruit and balance. A beautiful wine. Long life. Last tasted Dec 2005 ***** M.B.
