Merchant's description
Château Margaux is the iconic First Growth wine estate which has been owned by the Mentzelopoulos family since 1977. This is the 1988 vintage of its Grand Vin, offering a rich, intense now and remarkable structure on the palate, reminiscent of the 1986. The wine can be enjoyed now but there is no rush.
