  • 1989 Château Margaux 97 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    Tried the same wine the day before. Loved that wine, but this was a much better bottle.

    More of everything; complexity, purity, intensity, very lively, at the same time smooth and lean, ingratiating as sunny autumn day.

    More of this, yes! The shining star of the night.

    50+5+14+19+9
