1983 Chateau Margaux, Premier Grand Cru Classe

Item Number: 105
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
A 1983 Bordeaux Blend Dry Table wine from Margaux, Bordeaux, France. In Bordeaux Book, Jan 1998, Robert Parker writes, "The 1983 Margaux is a breathtaking wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes achieved perfect maturity in 1983, and the result is an astonishingly rich, concentrated, atypically powerful and tannic Margaux. The color is dark ruby, the aromas exude ripe cassis fruit, violets, and vanillin oakiness, and the flavors are extremely deep and long on the palate with a clean, incredibly long finish. This full-bodied, powerful wine remains stubbornly backward and at least 5-6 years away from maturity. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2030."
