Château Margaux 1986 (12 BT)

Château Margaux 1986

Margaux, 1er Cru Classé

u. 8vts, 3ts, 1t/hs, 3 slightly scuffed capsules, different importers

In 2022, an immediate, definable, superb ‘scent of Margaux’ - and indisputably First Growth. Blueberries, heather and blackberries surge out of the glass - and they scream ‘breed’! Bordeaux at its finest, at first sniff, and it utterly beguiled us. A huge, voluptuous, opulent mouthful ‘en bouche’, followed by endless dimension and complexity. The tannins are totally enveloped in richness, a stunning example of how to manage the power and structure of 1986. One of Paul Pontallier’s greatest wines and a remarkable Margaux.
