Bordeaux Blend · Margaux
100 points from Robert Parker.
“The Best Ever? The 1990 Margaux continues to be the quintessential example of this chateau. In addition to being profoundly concentrated its ethereal bouquet of sweet black fruits cedar spices flowers smoke and vanilla is remarkably well-formed and intense. In the mouth there is not a hard edge to this classic wine which is super-concentrated soft silky-textured and opulent. It displays an opaque ruby/purple color a compelling bouquet and exquisite layers of flavors that cascade over the palate without any notion of toughness or coarseness. The acidity is low although sufficient enough to provide vibrancy and focus. This wine's significant tannin level is remarkably well-concealed by the wealth of fruit. Although still an infant in terms of development this fabulous Margaux is already drinkable. There have been so many great vintages of Margaux under the Mentzelopoulos regime that it is almost inconceivable that the 1990 could outrank the 1982 1983 1985 1986 and 1995 but in my opinion it possesses an extra-special dimension. While it is approachable it will last for 25-30 years.”

Margaux Chateau
1990 Bordeaux Blend, MargauxSince 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.
