A
Margaux second growth, currently down-rated to a fifth in the Liv-ex
classification. 1983 lives
in the shadow of 1982, but was nevertheless an excellent Margaux vintage;
apparently some châteaux here made better wines than in ‘82.
Still
looks relatively youthful, without too much bricking. Dark fruit and muted cedar,
and a menthol character that sometimes segues into plasticine. The finish is
rich and savoury. No very strong flavours, but smooth, long and beautifully
rounded.
92/100
