Château Margaux--Vintage 1983
Margaux, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting Note: Unquestionably the wine of the vintage. It was, as so frequently, exceptionally appealing in cask, vivid purple, with fruit-driven aroma and dramatic taste. I was fortunate enough to taste the wine a dozen times in the 1990s, on several occasions paired with the '82. Although the latter is excellent, the '83's fragrance and finesse puts it ahead 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.
