The sheer opulence on the palate stops you in its tracks - pour into a large glass to get the full impact. The juiciness of the fruit is astonishing, with blackcurrants to the fore. The luscious liquorice finish is all-enveloping and totally memorable, the glycerol mouth-coating and the beauty non negotiable. And, in 2025, a bottle was equally show-stopping.

Château Margaux 1999 Margaux, 1er Cru Classé Excellent levels and appearance, owc banded prior to inspection; Excellents niveaux et excellente apparence, OWC cerclée avant inspection In 2018, at a very jolly Sotheby's lunch, we launched into this and were blown away by its all-enveloping, intense bouquet and great, velvety, blackcurrant taste. I think this now must be the most delicious Bordeaux 1999 around - it is just so luscious and ripe for the year. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 94 12 bts (owc) Provenance: A brilliant collection from a renowned European Art collector, created with curatorial precision and a focus on Bordeaux Grands Crus Classés from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s—three decades that chart the modern evolution of the region. It is not broad for the sake of breadth, but deliberate, composed, and deeply informed. Every bottle was purchased directly from Bordeaux, acquired "En Primeur" and never re-entering the market. Since release, the wines have rested exclusively in the owner’s temperature-controlled cellar, preserved under constant conditions with meticulous care and mostly in their original wooden cases. The provenance is seamless, the stewardship uncompromising. This collection has a sense of patience and conviction. These are wines chosen early, held quietly, and allowed to mature undisturbed—an enduring testament to discipline, foresight, and a collector’s respect for time. Une très belle collection constituée par un grand collectionneur d’art européen, avec une approche rigoureuse et un accent particulier sur les Grands Crus Classés de Bordeaux des années 1980, 1990 et 2000 — trois décennies marquant l’évolution moderne de la région. L’ensemble privilégie la cohérence et la qualité plutôt que l’ampleur. Chaque bouteille a été achetée directement à Bordeaux, en primeur, sans jamais revenir sur le marché. Depuis leur sortie, les vins ont été conservés exclusivement dans la cave climatisée du propriétaire, dans des conditions constantes et pour la plupart dans leurs caisses bois d’origine. La provenance est parfaitement claire et la conservation irréprochable. Cette collection reflète une véritable patience et une conviction assumée. Sélectionnés dès l’origine, conservés avec discrétion et laissés à maturité sans intervention, ces vins témoignent d’une gestion attentive et d’un profond respect du temps.

Château Margaux 2001 Margaux, 1er Cru Classé Excellent levels and appearance; Excellents niveaux et excellente apparence This is just so gloriously gummy and black cherryish. Intense too. Roses also chime in. Glycerol and totally yummy. So fresh and inviting. This is a beautiful wine, a real 'sleeper'. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 93 12 bts (owc) Provenance: A brilliant collection from a renowned European Art collector, created with curatorial precision and a focus on Bordeaux Grands Crus Classés from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s—three decades that chart the modern evolution of the region. It is not broad for the sake of breadth, but deliberate, composed, and deeply informed. Every bottle was purchased directly from Bordeaux, acquired "En Primeur" and never re-entering the market. Since release, the wines have rested exclusively in the owner’s temperature-controlled cellar, preserved under constant conditions with meticulous care and mostly in their original wooden cases. The provenance is seamless, the stewardship uncompromising. This collection has a sense of patience and conviction. These are wines chosen early, held quietly, and allowed to mature undisturbed—an enduring testament to discipline, foresight, and a collector’s respect for time. Une très belle collection constituée par un grand collectionneur d’art européen, avec une approche rigoureuse et un accent particulier sur les Grands Crus Classés de Bordeaux des années 1980, 1990 et 2000 — trois décennies marquant l’évolution moderne de la région. L’ensemble privilégie la cohérence et la qualité plutôt que l’ampleur. Chaque bouteille a été achetée directement à Bordeaux, en primeur, sans jamais revenir sur le marché. Depuis leur sortie, les vins ont été conservés exclusivement dans la cave climatisée du propriétaire, dans des conditions constantes et pour la plupart dans leurs caisses bois d’origine. La provenance est parfaitement claire et la conservation irréprochable. Cette collection reflète une véritable patience et une conviction assumée. Sélectionnés dès l’origine, conservés avec discrétion et laissés à maturité sans intervention, ces vins témoignent d’une gestion attentive et d’un profond respect du temps.
