1900 Chateau Margaux Bordeaux - 100 pts - 750ml
1900 Chateau Margaux Bordeaux - 100 Pts!
Since the 17th Century, the first wine of Château Margaux has been recognized as being one of the greatest wines in the entire world.
It owes its unique qualities to the genius of its terroir as well as to the passionate work of a succession of generations. It’s a remarkable wine that comes from a combination of characteristics that are only rarely found: finesse, elegance, complexity, density, intensity, length and freshness. Although its tannic concentration may be exceptional, it’s rare to detect astringency.
The great vintages are distinguished by their formidable ability to move us. The lesser vintages give pleasure to wise enthusiasts. They offer the advantage of evolving very rapidly and, reveal, after a few years, instead of power, this subtlety that is the prerogative of great terroirs.
Château Margaux has an extraordinary ability to evolve. Over the years, it has developed a finesse, an aromatic complexity and a remarkable presence on the palate.

| Rating | 100 RP - 1900 Chateau Margaux Bordeuax - 100 Pts! The 1900 Margaux is one of this century's most renowned wines. Interestingly it was originally thought to lack aging potential because it was so drinkable by the time it was ten or twelve years old. The production of 1900 Margaux was in excess of 30000 cases which is nearly identical to what was produced in 1982 a wine with shockingly similar acidity alcohol and extraction levels. Will the 1982 last 100 years? The 1900 Margaux is an immortal wine largely because it is still so young and fresh with all the nuances and complexities that wine enthusiasts hope will develop. Splendidly rich with a perfume that must fill a room unbelievably unctuous opulent and well-focused this is a winemaking tour de force. The fact that it manages to balance power and high extraction of flavor with both finesse and elegance makes it stand out as one of the most extraordinary wines I have ever tasted. Not only will this wine live for another decade I suspect it has the potential to last for 20-30 years into the next century. A breathtaking wine! RP |
