Lot #589. Margaux 1983

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 98 WS.
"This pulls together all the glorious notes of a fully mature Margaux, with singed cedar, rooibos tea, rose water and sandalwood aromas, followed by a stunning mélange of both fresh and dried red and black fruits, including currant, cherry, raspberry and plum. The long finish lets everything drape together beautifully. Absolutely stunning, this seems in no hurry to go anywhere. Remarkably fresh and defined at this time." WineSpectator.com, 2014
