Chateau MARGAUX 1986

Premier Cru classified in 1855 as the legendary Margaux appellation, Château Margaux comes from vines planted on a hillock of gravel, soils characteristic of the appellation. The blend of this wine is made from 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. The 2006 vintage was marked by a drastic selection of grapes: only 36% of the harvest was used to make the great wine of Château Margaux (just a third if we take into account the losses due to racking).

"The 1986 Chateau Margaux is one of the dark horses of the vintage. It has an exquisite bouquet that is now fully mature, with a mixture of red and black fruit, violets, pastilles and hints of cold stone. It blossoms in the glass, gaining intensity all the time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a more robust Margaux as you would expect given the vintage, clearly with firm backbone, more straight-laced than the 1985 or 1989. Yet there is wonderful delineation and focus here. If you seek strictness and classicism in a wine, then this is the place to come, plus there is superb mineralité and tension on the ferrous finish. Perhaps a little overlooked in recent years, the 1986 Margaux comes highly recommended for those who love the property. This is a wine finally coming of age. Tasted July 2016. "
