Chateau Margaux 1983 Chateau Margaux 1983 Margaux, 1er Cru Classe u. 2bn, 2 slightly soiled labels We put this up against the 1982 at an early 2010 dinner party at home and, yet again, some guests had it as their favourite. Certainly, now, it has gained in richness and roundness and is indubitably great wine, with chocolate, spices, orange and cassis on the nose and plums, damsons and orange skins on the palate. It really melts in the mouth and yet it is a powerhouse of a wine. In 2011, such plummy impact on the nose. You just sink into this. Fabulous and almost vanillin. SS. Lot 856 3 bts (sc) per lot: USD 1200-1600 Chateau Margaux is the most imposing building of all the First Growths, its neo-classical elegance reflected in the sheer aristocratic bearing of the wines. The superb scent of Margaux fascinates - so alluring, so complex and so giving. The Mentzelopoulos regime wines are unerringly consistent in quality, often topping the charts against the toughest opposition. There is weight and depth, added to the breed and class that come from this fabulous terroir. Modern vintages are giants, brilliant creations of technical director, Paul Pontallier, exuding richness and rewarding the drinker with undying memories. SS. Quantity: 1
