Really enjoyed this wine. Nice bouquet. Everything I enjoy in a big Napa cab, dark stewed fruit, chocolate, a hint of mocha. Lasting finish. Lived up to a special occasion billing — 11 years ago

Very new world, fruit forward. Lots of new oak. Big red fruit, almost candied, but with a pretty tannic backbone. Quite delicious, but needs the right red/fatty meat to pair with it.

As this opens more, increasing tannins. Still soft though. The finish is longer too - clocking it at a minute

Excellent. Even better the second day. A lot of grip but the tannins are well integrated. — 10 years ago

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1934

1934 Château Margaux

Top shoulder fill. Semi-opaque at the core, almost like an old burgundy with its brownish hews. Beautiful and graceful bouquet of roses, raspberries that have been baked, very elegant and healthy nose. At first very dry, with the fruit barely hanging on for dear life, but after 15 minutes in the decanted it comes alive with sweet fruit, high acidity and just a kiss of tannin. This is very complex and sublime for about a period of 20-40 minutes, what else could you ask for from a 80 year old bottle of wine.
THANKS DAVE !!
