CHATEAU MARGAUX 1999 PREMIER GRAND CRU CLASSE
A beautiful bottle of the 1999, last one form a case, with a lovely label, tight capsule and a level well into the neck, and with etched security number on the bottle as seen in the images.
This really is a fine example of this 25 year old wine that has been well stored since purchase.

Point Score: 95
The 1999 Chateau Margaux has been the standout First Growth since I first tasted the wine from barrel. Now reaching its plateau of maturity, it has an understated nose at first, armed with impressive mineralite with a gorgeous graphite seam. The definition and precision here is top class. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth in texture, very harmonious and assured, surprisingly with some new oak still to be fully assimilated into the wine. The signature Margaux traits of crushed black cherries and violets comes through towards the finish, suggestions of raspberry reserve and desiccated orange peel enhancing the long finish. Perhaps I might temper my initial enthusiasm for the 1999 Chateau Margaux...but only slightly. It comes highly recommended. Tasted May 2016.
