Château Margaux 1983
Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé
(lightly scuffed label, slightly depressed cork)
1 bottle

"Exotic aromas of cassis, meat and smoke, plus a whiff of funky wood. Then remarkably sweet, lush and suave, with a flavor of raw berries. Pure Margaux silkiness allied to firm structure. Finishes very long, with rich, sweet tannins. Remarkable wine, particularly considering that the bottle was not perfect. Pristine bottles of this wine are just now embarking on their period of peak drinkability, which should last another 20 years or more." (95pts Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, July 2002)
