Description
Château Margaux 1983
Margaux, 1er Cru Classé
Lot 1021: u. 3bn, 3 levels into neck, 4 stained labels, 2 signs of seepage, excellent color and clarity, case is missing lid, Lot 1022: u. 2bn, 2vts, stained and soiled labels, slightly corroded capsules, 1 nicked label, Lot 1023: u. 1bn, 3vts, 1ts, glue striped labels, 7 stained labels, signs of seepage, 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.
