1989 Chateau Margaux
My wife and I celebrated our 35th anniversary last night with a bottle
of 1989 Chateau Margaux. We started with a couple of glasses of Bruno Paillard NV Blanc de Blanc (disgorged 2002) I which was a nice bright sparkler with fruity, notes of pear and apples with a nice lemony finish. I roasted a veal loin and seared some Guinea fowl breasts and decided on opening an '89 Chateau Margaux. It's been a while since I've tasted the wine and it's entering it's drinking window imo. The wine was a medium garnet color totally clear at the rim with a faint hint of brick in the body of the wine. The nose was sightly oaky at first but after 30 minutes the aoak blew off and revealed classic Bordeaux cigarbox and a hint of barnyard but there was an overwhelming perfume of fresh wildflowers. Typical Margaux elegance on the palate with a medium body and well resolved fine tannins. The flavors leaned more towards red currants and raspberry with hints of leather and minerals. This wine should drink well over the next 10 to 15 years. Very tasty, very Margaux. Not the best Chateau Margaux I've ever had but still a fairly solid "A" on the Dale scale.

I opened my one bottle of this a year ago, with much the same results. JJ
