Description
Château Margaux 1983
Margaux, 1er Cru Classé
u.4bn,4vts,2ts,1t/hs,1hs, 1 heavily stained label, 2 stained, 2 slightly stained labels, 4 slightly corroded capsules, excellent color and clarity
Drunk with David on the evening of Paul Pontallier's death in March 2016 - it was his first vintage at Margaux. On occasions, the 1983 can seem a mite 'one dimensional' against the superlative 1982 but, on this night, with tears in our eyes, it shone, bursting over our palates in aromatic splendour. The rich, glycerol-driven texture expressed perfectly that great Margaux terroir - all liquorice, berries and sumptuous fruit flavours. Paul, you left an unmatched legacy. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
