1979 Chateau Margaux Red Blend
Condition:12-1-11good - Wines were removed from a professional storage facility in Marin County, CA. These wines have been held by one owner and were purchased upon release. They have been well cared for and have impeccable provenance.
This wine is just now reaching full maturity, much later than I initially expected. It is a classy, elegant example of Margauxpossessing a dark ruby/purple color, and a moderately intense nose of sweet black currant fruit intermixed with minerals, vanillin, and floral scents. The wine is medium-bodied, with beautifully sweet fruit. This linear, more compressed style of Margaux possesses a good inner-core of sweet fruit, and a charming, harmonious personality. Although not a blockbuster, it is aging effortlessly, and appears to take on more character with each passing year. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted 12/96 RP
