Grand Vin du Château Margaux

1978
A classic, concentrated, rich, deep wine, with a mature, complex bouquet, displaying a touch of mint. Its very fine tannic structure still leaves a little firmness on the finish which is fortunately, softened by very fine perfumed flavours. We think this wine may have the potential to improve, but it may also dry out a bit. (October 2018)

Climate

The time lost through a particularly cool and wet spring was never made up during the summer, but an exceptional Indian summer enabled sufficiently ripe grapes to be picked in perfectly healthy condition. (The picking began on October 9th)
