The end of an era. At its best it was the epitome of elegance and finesse. Medium pale, soft cherry, initially showing its age on the nose but settle down, rich, slightly chocolatey, better on the palate, good tannin and acidity. Decadent. ***** Michael Broadbent.
Absolutely stunning in every sense of the word, the wine looked like a glass of tea, with bricks in it to make the color. This was pure silk and velvet, with the distinctive patina of age in its texture. Notes of cigar box, flowers and cherry blossoms, tobacco and pure sweet cherries filled your nose. The gentle, sweet, soft, spicy, red berry filled finish was a treat that really sticks with you. I might not ever see it again, but the memory will linger for years.

Ah, 1929 ! That legend of vintages that will always be remembered as the year of the century. Its reputation was made all the more glorious by the fact that immediately after, the 1930s were really catastrophic, and then war broke out… It was not until 1945 that anything comparable in quality was produced. It was only a space of sixteen years, but everyone had the genuine impression that it had been a century... Château Margaux 1929 is indeed a marvellous wine. We had the opportunity, a few years ago, to open a few at the same time. Around one out of three was in decline, another was fine, but a bit tired, and the last one... just marvellous! An incomparable, indescribable finesse; a silky, long, delicate feeling on the palate... Sheer happiness.
