"The '89 Margaux at a recent dinner was a revelation. The wine began with an incredibly aromatic nose that combines sweet cherry fruit with a pronounced floral edge and a decadently rich and spicy character. On the palate the wine is dense and concentrated, yet not heavy in the least - strikingly expressive and hauntingly long. Wow!" CC, December 2010 at a Christie's dinner.
