1 dozen bottles per lot
MARGAUX 100 Hectares: 75 Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 Merlot, 5 Cab Franc and Petit Verdot "The estate's history can be traced to the 12th century, when it was known as 'La Mothe de Margaux.' Its wine history begins somewhat later. Between 1522 and 1582, Pierre de Lestonnac began a systematic replacement of fields, then used primarily to produce cereal crops, with vineyards. By 1705, the London Gazette was offering the first sale of Château Margoose, and the wine first appeared in Christie's catalogue with the 1771 vintage. Robert Parker World's Greatest Wine Estates Château Margaux--Vintage 1989 Margaux, 1er cru classé In original wooden case At Wagner's second vertical in Nov 2000, I rated it second only to the '45. Sweet, soft, rich - a lovely wine. Last tasted, blind from a jeroboam: very deep, almost opaque, cherry-tinged but maturing; singed spicy bouquet; drier than expected, stern, firm but with very good flavour (I thought it was the Mouton). Last tasted at the Eigensatzs', Bad Schwalbach, Oct 2001 ****(*) 2010-2025 ." MB, Vintage Wine 1 dozen bottles per lot
