Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

86 is a great vintage and built to make great old bones. Still so vibrant and youthful. This 86 was intoxicating! A lot more structure and backbone than other Margaux. The texture was round and full bodied but with that firm edge that lets you know this wine was a Queen. Great purity of cassis flavors with layers of complexity expressed by floral, mineral and truffle notes. An extraordinary long precise finish. — 12 years ago

Leathery but remains fresh. Dried cherry and cranberry. Superb power and depth. A cellar queen — 13 years ago

E Puddara Etna Bianco 2011. What a great wine. Showing like an apricot juice that was infused with lemon juice tonight. Heavier palate weight than I recall but lifted with bright chalky aromatics. Carricante the way it was meant to be, I surmise. Not thin and hot like others I've sampled, even if at 14% this it pulls it off effortlessly like a teen beauty queen — 12 years ago
