Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend

From mag. soft raspberry fruit. Slightly tart. Very good purity. A little light compared to the wines alongside

Tasted blind. Reddish amber tawny. Translucent. Better color than the 61 Palmer beside it. Herbal nose. Notes of red and black fruit, herbs, earth, gravel. Very refined and perfumed. Guessed 61 Mouton given the herbal profile. A really good but not great Margaux. (M's 60th bday 6th of 14)

Legend...wait for it...dary!

Fake bottle. No vintage on cork. TCA anyway so couldn't tell how it was. A shame.

So fresh. Woah

This was off the charts. I was amazed at the freshness of the fruit in the palate after 53 years!

What a treat

Lovely bottle but 59 still steps if not leaps better!

I think Margaux are meant to be opened earlier. However, the color is still a pale light red with some browning. The taste isn’t quite there so it is obviously on the downslope, but it’s still drinkable.

Wow. This is humming along So elegant.
