Note di degustazione
Served blind instead of a Ch Margaux 1975 that was too disappointing to serve. Pale crimson and rather soft on the palate. Light brett. Very dry and lacking fruit on the finish. There was a certain spice to this wine, which I thought tasted like a Bandol! (JR)

This review may be generous, but I have always liked this wine, even though it borders on being slightly too dry, austere, and restrained. Nevertheless, the dark garnet color and classic sweet, spicy, tobacco, coffee, and black currant aromas are enticing. The wine still has powerful tannin in the finish, which contributes to the dry, austere character this example has always exhibited. One of the more intellectually-styled Moutons, the 1966 is a classic example of the vintage, as well as of the chateau's Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated style. Anticipated maturity: Now-2008. Last tasted 10/97
