CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1996 (1)

Margaux. 1er Cru Classé
marked label.

It is blessed with breathtaking delineation and freshness on the nose, understated at first and then blossoming with mineral-infused black fruit, hints of blueberry, crushed stone and violet. The palate is perfectly balanced with filigree tannin, perfect acidity, a wine where everything seems to be in its right place. Blackberry, crushed stone at the front of the mouth, just a touch of spice towards the finish that shows supreme control. This is a Margaux that seems to light up the senses. Tasted July 2016. Drink: 2016-2050 WS 95 WA 100
