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 | 98 RP - The 1986 Margaux continues to be the most powerful tannic and muscular Margaux made in decades. One wonders if the 1928 or 1945 had as much power and depth as the 1986? The black/ruby/purple color reveals no sign of age. The reluctant nose offers up aromas of smoky toasty new oak and black currants as well as a few flowers. The wine is mammoth with extraordinary extract superb balance and a frightfully tannic finish. This is a Margaux of immense stature made in a masculine full-bodied style that is in complete contrast to the 1990. It should prove nearly immortal in terms of aging potential but will it have the awesome potential I first predicted? RP |
