A MARGAUX VERTICAL THAT BEGINS AND ENDS

WITH 99-POINT WINES.

ourney through these astounding years of ChâteauMargaux.

The amazing vintage of 1982 heralded the new golden age of

Bordeaux, marking both the beginning of a run of truly extraordinary

vintages and the nascent opening of the Classified-Growth market

to international acquisition on a massive scale.

The 1982 wine itself

is powerful and fleshy, with a rich dense bouquet of roasted

black currants, sweet truffles and blooming violets, boasting a

99-point ranking.

The

1986

, by comparison might be juicier and

more brooding, yet almost as elegant in the mid-palate and upon

the finish. The 1990s were blessed with several remarkable vintages,

with

1994

and

1998

being two of them that stood out for excellent

structure and finesse. But the

2003

stands out among the group,

with a

99 fromParker and density that’s unparalleled by any

recent Margaux vintage

. The tightly knit tannic structure gives this

wine a silken quality that creates an irresistible allure.

This is an

excellent selection of some of the finest first-growth Bordeaux

that can be found, anywhere.

Note: Top shoulder level for vintages 1982, 1986 and 1994.
