Note di degustazione
Medium to deep brick colored, the 1989 Chateau Margaux is a little sluggish and broody to begin, reluctantly releasing notes of cigar box, charcoal, dried herbs, and damp soil, before revealing a core of dried cherries, leather, and prunes. The medium-bodied palate has lightly chewy tannins and a refreshing backbone supporting the savory flavors, finishing provocatively chalky.

The 1989 Château Margaux showed beautifully, with a ripe, open, sexy style in its red and black fruits, saddle leather, savory herbs, and spicy, incense-like nuances. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it has a nicely balanced, elegant mouthfeel, resolved tannins, and a great finish. It's clearly in the heart of its prime drink window and should have a graceful evolution over the coming decades, with a gradual decline thereafter.
The 1989 Château Margaux is old school on the nose with dark berry fruit, saddle leather, iodine and a touch of wild mint. It's much more loose-knit than the 1990, which I personally prefer. The palate is well balanced with a sweet entry, not amazingly complex yet refined and delicate in the style of, say, Lafite-Rothschild. It gently builds toward a very harmonious but not robust tobacco-tinged finish. Drinking perfectly now - this will not get better. Tasted at the château.
