1983 Chateau Margaux Bordeaux - 99 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.

Robert Parker

Rating 98 RP - This is undoubtedly the "wine of the vintage." Still dark opaque purple/black-colored, with no evolution to its color and no signs of bouquet development, this backward, super-concentrated, powerful and tannic wine needs at least another 10-15 years of cellaring. A classic Margaux, it is loaded with ripe cassis fruit intertwined with flavors of smoky vanillin oak. Full-bodied, with layers of flavor, as well as sensational focus and length, it has barely budged since its early days in cask. This is a wine that should keep for another 35-40 years. RP
