Château Margaux 1989 (1 BT)

Château Margaux 1989

Margaux, 1er Cru Classé

Slightly soiled and slightly scuffed label, with old inventory sticker on capsule, US importer's back label

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

WA 90

軟糖、皮革及甘草氣息。濃烈的肉桂香氣，柔和突出的烘焙烤香味。與天氣相近的1990年截然不同。檀香木般香醇。甘甜迷人。陳年二十載，入口融化。2010年在香港品嚐六公升裝，動人的煙燻黑加侖子香氣。入口有辛辣和甘草味，結構分明強勁，散發石南花草味道。酒體雄渾巨碩。2014年品嚐標準瓶裝，出色的結構，勁力懾人，濃稠集中，中心如焦油般濃厚。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
