Château Margaux--Vintage 1979
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Slightly corroded capsules. Three slightly stained labels. Levels: eleven top and one upper-shoulder
Tasting note: This wine is just now reaching full maturity, much later than I initially expected. It is a classy, elegant example of Margaux possessing 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. 93 points. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1 (Jan 1998)
