Description

A Classic vintage - one of the very best of the century.

From Wine Tracker:

2/25/2017 - MISTERSTARRE LIKES THIS WINE: 94 Points
Wonderful mature margaux. Upon opening, the nose was mute and the fruit was non-existent on the palate. I could taste tomato juice and copper pennies. Within a half an hour, however, the fruit emerged and the remaining tannins unfolded giving the wine both depth and structure. Nothing overly complex, but lovely charcoal, dark fruit, and wet earth were present. Floral notes wafted up from the glass but found no place in the taste or the finish. Very enjoyable. Well-stored bottles are a go to treat.

4/3/2016 - VINDICTIVE WROTE:
bottle and fill excellent, there was some slight seepage under the capsule and the cork moved easily and was extracted intact, Medium deep color, very promising nose initially, it was decanted and came around fairly quickly being elegant and delicious after 1 hour, Soft Margaux perfume, Bordeaux earth, aged black berry. Sublime.

12/16/2012 - KEVIN H WROTE: 97 Points
Firm cork that came out whole. Slow oxygenated for 6 hours, though it smelt good when first opened it didn't really need it. On tasting still vigorous so I decanted it. Opened up magnificently over the next hour, has a clean, purity of fruit i have only really encountered in the 61 vintage. Not the most profound nose in terms of depth but still gorgeous blackcurrant. Pitch perfect cassis fruit, smoky, dense fruit aromas, subtle tannin still but in fabulous condition. Mid-weight perfection.
