Tasting Notes:
Deeply pigmented, medium ruby-red color. The aromas are quite intense, with fresh red-fruit combined with cocoa-butter. on the palate the redcurrant fruit seamlessly blends with a silky smooth & supple tannic structure. The acidity is lively, alcohol is balanced & the finish is long. Cedary oak adds an opulent vanilla to the mid-palate, but closes up the finish a little early.

The 1999 Château Margaux is an immensely charming wine that's drinking beautifully today from both bottle and, in this case, magnum. Bursting with aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries and violets framed by subtle hints of cigar box, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and sensual, with an enveloping core of fruit, ripe and melting tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Analogies with the immensely charming 1985 vintage are very persuasive, as the 1999 is quite reminiscent of how the 1985 tasted fifteen years ago.
