Château Margaux--Vintage 1959
Margaux, 1er cru classé
In Châtau Margaux wooden case, stamped 1959. Two slightly damaged capsules, one damaged glass lip. Ten Ginestest slip labels, slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels top-shoulder
Tasting note: A lovely warm, rich, well-tempered, complete, harmonious bouquet, sweet, full, rich and rounded. However, looking back, of my 29 notes, about half a dozen have been disappointing, mainly due to less-than-good levels and poor corks. Last tasted Dec 2001. At best superb ***** M.B.
