1981 Château Margaux

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Thursday, November 2, 2023 - "Off" Vintages from Elite Producers: (Petrus, Lafite, Margaux, etc) (Charlotte, NC): Decanted at 5:30pm and back in the bottle/corked at 6:00pm. Cork pulled upon arrival for dinner at 6:30pm and served at ~7:30pm. Complex aromatic nose – dark raspberries and dried brown leaves – a Bordeaux’s Bordeaux. Smooth on the palette. Elegant mouthfeel with a deftness that glides over your palate. More lightweight than expected but lacking nowhere in depth of flavor – dark fruits, forest floor, and bramble; with a mature secondary and tertiary balance. Lengthy finish rounding out this first-rate wine. Six 2nd place votes for WOTN and clear 2nd place overall.
