Wine 1988 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

Marked by a very mild winter and a wet spring, this year the harvest was carried out in excellent conditions.
Château Margaux 1988 is quite similar to the previous vintage. The color of this Premier Cru Classé is very deep, the nose is rich and intense and the structure in the mouth is magnificent. When ripe, however, it can be kept for several more years to reveal all its power and aromas.

Wine Spectator November - 1998
Wine Spectator
Still not giving all it has to offer, this shows wonderful aromas and flavors of currant, violet, tobacco and earth. Full-bodied and powerful, with a solid underpinning of firm yet silky tannins. A classic Margaux.--1988 Bordeaux horizontal. Best after 2000.

Dark color, of normal intensity and evolved. Moderately aromatic nose, with fresh and lively fruitiness. Becomes more supple when swirled. Essentially juicy, flavorful and pleasant palate that stretches slightly harsh over a normal length. This bottle does not show as well as the one commented on in the Château Margaux vertical tasting. It was taken from the same case.

Château Margaux

Château Margaux is one of the most prestigious estates in the Margaux appellation and a major historical figure of Bordeaux excellence. Classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 classification, the château draws on a terroir of fine, deep gravels that promotes the expression of a wine of rare elegance and great aromatic complexity.

Le Grand Vin de Château Margaux has been recognized since the 17th century as one of the most accomplished expressions of the Bordeaux vineyard. Its qualities stem from the combination of an exceptional terroir, demanding viticulture, and a winemaking approach oriented toward precision and balance. Silky tannins, aromatic depth, freshness, and length on the palate are the defining hallmarks of the Margaux style.

The great vintages mark its history, from the 1953 wine, then the 1982 vintage to the 1990 and the 2000 vintage, up to the 2015, considered one of the estate's recent peaks. Le Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, the second wine, offers a more immediate interpretation. These illustrate the estate's ability to produce wines of great complexity, capable of evolving harmoniously over several decades while retaining a remarkable expression of their terroir.
