Chateau Margaux 1990 Chateau Margaux 1990 Margaux, 1er Cru Classe 2 pen marked and 4 scuffed labels, 1 bottle comes from a different importer, scuffed capsules Drunk with the 1989 at a Sotheby's lunch in 2011, with the room dividing on individual preference; I just came down on the side of the 1989! This is true First Growth beauty, with its projection of silky, approachable fruit and sleek bilberry taste - a smoothie of a wine. Utterly tempting and full of black fruit, it has perfect balance and irreproachable class. SS. Lot 5109 4 mags (cn) per lot: HKD 42000-60000 per lot: USD 5500-7500 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
