Merchant's description

Margaux 1990 is a red wine from the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. Often described as a hedonistic masterpiece, this wine was born from a year of perfect ripeness across the estate`s 82-hectare vineyard. The deepest gravel parcels contributed to a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that was aged for 20 months in new French oak. It possesses an extraordinary wealth of fruit, featuring layers of crème de cassis and sweet spice backed by a luxurious, velvet texture.
