Punteggi dei critici
20 Rene Gabriel
Vielleicht war das nicht der grösste Margaux dieses Tastings, aber sicherlich der Beliebteste. Bevor ich den Stil des Glases berührte drangen schon entzückende «Ohs» und «Ahs» an mein Ohr. Die Nase berauschend und ausufernd, enorm gefächertes, versprühendes Süssweinpaket, von Kokos, Caramel über Sandelholz und Rosinen. Im Gaumen rahmig, weich und mit superber, aber auch schier fragiler Balance. Seit Jahren fasziniert er auf diesem Niveau als unvergleichliche, genialste «Chambertin-Margaux-Variante». 20/20 austrinken

The 1990 Château Margaux is really beginning to hit its stride at age 31, soaring from the glass with aromas of blackberries and cassis mingled with notions of licorice, cedar and violets, framed by subtle hints of vanilla and spice. Full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's seamless and complete, its velvety tannins and ripe acids entirely cloaked in a lavish but vibrant core of fruit. This is an especially dramatic, fleshy rendition of Margaux, yet it remains impeccably balanced and has decades of longevity ahead of it.

Full-bodied, yet racy and refined, with blackberry and licorice character. Long. It keeps getting better and better. Hard not to drink now. In fact, I would, but it will age well for decades. '89/'90 Bordeaux non-blind horizontal. Drink now. JS

Château Margaux

Indiscutibilmente la proprietà più sbalorditiva tra gli Châteaux del Médoc, la grande facciata e il teatrale viale alberato la dicono lunga sulla straordinaria reputazione di Château Margaux. Costruito all'inizio del XIX secolo, lo Château continua a svettare e rappresenta secoli di viticoltura. Di origine greca, André Mentzelopoulos acquistò la tenuta nel 1949 e, sin dagli anni Ottanta, la figlia Corinne Mentzelopoulos ne ha seguito le tradizioni ben radicate. Nel 1983, il carismatico e purtroppo ormai defunto Paul Pontallier entrò a far parte della squadra, diventando direttore tecnico a soli 27 anni. Il tradizionale Château, guidato da questa squadra giovane ma di talento, è cresciuto diventando uno dei migliori di Bodeaux. La tenuta di 262 ettari produce il Grand Vin di punta a base di Cabernet Sauvignon, il Château Margaux, oltre a un secondo vino notevole, il Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, e a un Sauvignon Blanc in purezza, unico in Margaux, il Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux.
