1999 Chateau Margaux, Margaux, Bottle (750ml)

RP94 "The 1999 Chateau 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." WK Feb 2022

"The 1999 Chateau Margaux has been the standout First Growth since I first tasted the wine from barrel and it remains one of the finest Left Bank wines." NM Oct 2016
