Description

Château Margaux 1986

Margaux, 1er Cru Classé

u. 5bn, 4vts, 1ts, otherwise into the neck, 1 slightly bin-soiled label; scuffed and nicked capsules, 2 of which reveal cork slightly; slight signs of old seepage

In 2019, a knockout bouquet of rich, deep, spicy black fruit. Velvety opulence on the palate, its superb 1986 structure covered by glycerol and massive fruit flavours. It just grows increasingly impressive. In 2020 and from magnum, even more grand and opulent, majestic Margaux in full flight. Fabulous harmony of power, volume and black fruit, with longevity a given. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
