Château Margaux--Vintage 1994
1 double-magnum 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, Peirre de Lestonnac began a systematic replacemnt of fields, then used primarily to produce cereal crops, with vineyards. By 1705, the London Gazette was offering the first sale of Chateau Margoose, and the wine first appeared in Christie's catalogue with the 1771 vintage. Robert Parker World's Greatest Wine Estates Château Margaux--Vintage 1994 Margaux, 1er cru classé "The wine has turned out to be a classic, long-lived Margaux. The opaque purple color is followed by this estate's tell-tale aromas of flowers, blackcurrants, licorice, and smoky oak. This dense, powerful, closed wine is a true vin de gard It needs a decade of cellaring, but it should last for 25-35 years. Readers may find this wine reminiscent of the 1988, only riper and more powerful. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2030." Robert Parker #109 (Feb 1997) 1 double-magnum per lot
