1984 Chateau Margaux, Margaux, Bottle (750ml) [Top Shoulder]

"The 1984 Margaux is one of the best wines of the vintage. It is rich in color and extract, and has an attractive perfume of violets, black currant fruit, toasty oak, herbs, and licorice. The wine is long, deep, and concentrated, for the vintage it is comparable to the property's 1980." RP Dec 1997

"This is the third bottle of 1984 Château Margaux that I have tasted, and it might well be the best. This bottle, bought from auction, has slightly more fruit on the nose, accompanied by leather, fireside hearth and still those slight torrefactory aromas. The palate is well-balanced but not complex, yet there is still breeding here. Presents fine acidity, straightlaced, yet fresh with an engaging tobacco-tinged finish. A lovely off-vintage First Growth. Tasted at a private dinner at 67 Pall Mall." NM for VM Jan 2023
