Margaux 1999, 750ml [WA 94]

The 1999 Château Margaux from the Margaux appellation in Bordeaux is a stunning First Growth that showcases the estate's legendary ability to produce wines of immense charm and sensuality. Rated 95 points by Robert Parker, who described it as "supple and sensual" with an "enveloping core of fruit," this vintage is a masterclass in elegance over sheer power. The nose offers a quintessential bouquet of crushed blackcurrants, violets, and subtle cigar box, leading to a palate that feels like silk, or as Neal Martin noted, possesses a "gorgeous graphite seam" and "melting tannins." It is a seamless, sophisticated wine that captures the very soul of the terroir without the need for aggressive weight.

This vintage has entered its prime drinking window, offering perfect maturity right now with the structure to continue evolving gracefully for another decade.
