Description
Château Margaux 1983
Margaux, 1er Cru Classé
1 dm - Good level, slightly glue striped label, signs of seepage, excellent color and clarity, 1 dm - u. vts, glue striped and slightly marked label, signs of seepage, excellent color and clarity, 1 dm - u. bn, glue striped and slightly marked label, excellent color and clarity, signs of seepage
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.
