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. Serena Sutcliffe, M.W. Lot 8152 12 bts (sc) Lot 8153 12 bts (sc) per lot: HKD 46000-70000 per lot: USD 6000-9000 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. Serena Sutcliffe, M.W. Quantity: 1
