Note di degustazione
Popped, and poured, the stunner gifted the perfume with dried flowers, blackberries, cherries, tobacco leaf, smoke, and cedar. With a single sip, the palate stole the show with its elegant, silky, velvety mouth-feel. The fruit comes in layers that gently coat your senses. Fully mature, this is a stunning example of what great, aged Bordeaux is all about.

The 1983 Chateau Margaux is deep brick-colored. It waltzes out of the glass with an evocative perfume of plum preserves, kirsch, and blackcurrant jelly, giving way to suggestions of rose oil, licorice, and charcoal, with a hint of dusty soil. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated and fabulously plush, with exotic spice and floral nuances finely knit into the red and black fruit layers, finishing with incredible length. Impactfully graceful and achingly gorgeous, this was one of the wines of this vintage!
Full bottle 1,343 g. No alcohol on the label. Mid garnet with a shaded rust rim (very much deeper than the Ch Siran 1983 opened alongside). Still quite reticent on the nose just after opening but the bouquet developed to be followed by something both savoury and delicate on the palate. Lovely sweet fruit on the palate and admirable persistence. But the fruit is starting to fade just a little. (JR)
One of the wines I opened to celebrate the end of harvest in Burgundy this year was a bottle of the 1983 Château Margaux, and I was blessed with a perfect cork, something that isn't a given with this vintage. Offering up beautiful aromas of sweet cassis, cigar box, petroleum jelly and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit, melted tannins and a long, aromatic finish. Fully mature today, now is a great time to open bottles.
