1985 Chateau Margaux 1985 1er Grand Cru Classe Margaux

Description

From the outstanding 1985 vintage and scoring 94/100 Parker points, “While not as powerful and concentrated as the ’86, ’83, or ’82, the 1985 Margaux is more charming and, at present, more complex than those more backward vintages. The color is a healthy dark ruby/purple. The seductive nose offers copious quantities of lavishly ripe black berry and cassis fruit intermixed with toasty oak and floral scents. This rich, expansive, and velvety-textured wine has developed more length, and additional flavor dimensions over the last several years. It has always been a remarkably approachable and enjoyable wine, but it appears to be taking on more character and quality than I ever imagined.” Drink now – 2024. A stunning anniversary gift.
