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 - For me 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. RP |

| Robert Parker Rating | 100 pts - The 1990 Château Margaux is really beginning to hit its stride at age 31, soaring from the glass with aromas of blackberries and cassis mingled with notions of licorice, cedar and violets, framed by subtle hints of vanilla and spice. Full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's seamless and complete, its velvety tannins and ripe acids entirely cloaked in a lavish but vibrant core of fruit. This is an especially dramatic, fleshy rendition of Margaux, yet it remains impeccably balanced and has decades of longevity ahead of it. |

| Antonio Galloni Rating | The 1990 Château Margaux has a really fabulous, knock-your-socks-off nose, soaring from the glass with crushed violet, copious black fruit, blueberry and pressed violets. So pure and enticing, this is just magnificent. The palate displays sublime balance and filigree tannins. This is perhaps the freshest example of the 1990 I have encountered to date. Caressing in texture, sumptuous, so much so that it disguises the backbone underneath. This is awesome. Tasted at the Académie du Vin dinner in Bordeaux. |
