CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 2002

Margaux. 1er Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 1 x scuffed label. 1 x scraped label. 1 x scuffed capsule.

Performing better from bottle than at any time in cask (which of course is the objective of great winemaking, isn’t it?), this wine reveals a dense ruby/purple color in a style somewhat reminiscent of the 1988 but with more power, concentration, and volume. It has a beautifully elegant nose of black fruits intermixed with truffle, flower, and oak. The wine is medium to full-bodied, dense, with wonderful precision, freshness, and a long, full-bodied finish with impressive levels of concentration. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030. April 2005 WS 92 WA 93

2 bts.    per lot $1,000 - $1,200
