CHATEAU MARGAUX 1990 |

Château Margaux 1990 Margaux, 1er Cru ClasséLot 138: Slightly bin-soiled and faded labels, and slightly corroded capsules, Lot 139: u. 6bn, 5vts, 1 level into the neck, slightly scuffed labels and capsules, 1 corroded capsule, 2 slightly sunken corks, excellent color and clarityDrunk with the 1989, the room divided on individual preference; I just came down on the side of the 1989! This is true First Growth beauty, with its projection of silky, approachable fruit and sleek bilberry taste - a smoothie of a wine. Utterly tempting and full of black fruit, it has perfect balance and irreproachable class. In 2015 at the property, pure berry fruit on the nose, with enormous freshness. Glorious opulence and fighting force. This really bounds out of the glass at you. A fabulous success. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 100 138:12 bts (owc) 139:12 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
