CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1989

Château Margaux 1989

Margaux, 1er Cru Classé

Excellent levels and appearance

Wine gums, leather and liquorice on the nose. Immensely cinnamon bouquet and cinnamon stick flavour. Soft, open, roasted taste. So different from the 1990 in spite of similar weather conditions. Almost sandalwood. So sweet and seductive. Melted in the mouth at 20 years old. Tasted in 2010 in Hong Kong from Imperial. Lovely smoky cassis nose. Spice and liquorice on the palate. Extraordinary definition and heathery tastes. Big wine in a big format. In 2014 in bottle, it was beautifully composed, with deep impact, concentration and a tarry core. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
