CHATEAU MARGAUX 1990 |

Château Margaux 1990 Margaux, 1er Cru Classéu.2vts, otherwise levels bn or into the neck, wines come from 2 different importers, 2 slightly cellar-soiled labels, 2 scuffed capsules, 1 slightly raised cork with sign of seepageDrunk 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 10012 bts (cn)Estimates are per lot
