Written Notes

The 1992 Chateau Margaux exhibits a mature ruby color with a slight orange hue at the edges, indicating its age and development.

The nose is refined and aromatic, presenting an ensemble of evolved fruit scents, including dried red berries and a hint of plum. This mature fruit character is elegantly intertwined with tertiary aromas such as leather, underbrush, and tobacco, which lend a deep complexity to the bouquet. Floral notes of dried roses and a subtle hint of potpourri add a delicate touch, while nuances of cedar and spice from oak aging provide a warm background.

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a silky texture, characterized by a quite harmonious blend of dried fruit flavors, such as cherry and fig, alongside more earthy elements like forest floor and a hint of mushroom. 

The finish is medium-long, continuing with the theme of elegance and maturity. It leaves behind decent lingering notes of fine leather, spice, and a touch of dried herbal nuances.

This wine need to be enjoyed now or never!
