International Wine Cellar Author: Stephen Tanzer Issue: Issue 103

($275-$394) Deep ruby-red. Exotic aromas of cassis, meat and smoke, plus a whiff of funky wood. Then remarkably sweet, lush and suave, with a flavor of raw berries. Pure Margaux silkiness allied to firm structure. Finishes very long, with rich, sweet tannins. Remarkable wine, particularly considering that the bottle was not perfect. Pristine bottles of this wine are just now embarking on their period of peak drinkability, which should last another 20 years or more.

Very concentrated which was impressive at first but became a bit brutsl with time in the glass. Solid and bloody rather than subtle (c f Ch Palmer 1983 served alongside). This was Paul Pontallier's first vintage.

Bordeaux Book(1998) Author: Robert Parker

The 1983 Margaux is a breathtaking wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes achieved perfect maturity in 1983, and the result is an astonishingly rich, concentrated, atypically powerful and tannic Margaux. The color is dark ruby, the aromas exude ripe cassis fruit, violets, and vanillin oakiness, and the flavors are extremely deep and long on the palate with a clean, incredibly long finish. This full-bodied, powerful wine remains stubbornly backward and at least 5-6 years away from maturity.

Wine of the vintage. Massive, with exuberant aromas of cassis, lead pencil and fruit which follow through on the palate. Full-bodied and incredibly velvety. Long, long finish. --The Bordeaux 50.

BORDEAUXLICIOUS Trust Rating: 91 Tasted On: 02/17/2013

1983 Chàteau Margaux The fill is top shoulder, no bubbling atop the foil cap, the cork had heavy mold beneath the cap but that's normal for this age of wine, no apparent signs of leakage 80% bleed yet the cork was super dry And fell apart when pulled. The core is dark ruby and opaque, the rim is pinkish with signs of bricking, unbelievable for the age of the wine and the vintage. The nose exhibits a plethora of dried herbs, roses, currants, raspberry, perfume, oak and cigar box. On the palate its medium-bodied, dry but filled with sweet fruit, blueberry and cassis on the mid palate, it seems like this wine is gaining in weight and viscosity with every sip. The tannins are so tamed and smooth, the balance is impeccable, the finish goes on and on. A beautiful wine, elegant and very feminine.

Consistent notes: Med.-dark youthful garnet color w/no significant age effect; soft fragrant exotic nose laced w/smoke, beef, cedar & black fruit; very Margaux; similar intense yet silky flavors; med.-full body; balanced, very complex; silky integrated tannins - no hard edges; very lovely; a bit lighter than the '82 but more flair & depth; very, very long, complex finish; intensity & class rather than muscle. Fully mature but will hold for several more years. A great Bordeaux.

Bought on auction a year ago. In decanter for one hour before serving in a company of great friends. Ruby red bordering on purple, without signs of brown. Very intricate and elegant bouquet, featuring ripe blackcurrant, sweet spices, vanilla, fresh flowers, and a very slight hint of raspberry. Very pleasant on the palate with delicate, yet marvellously delicious fruit, and, to my surprise, youthful, slightly sweet tannins and subtle acidity. The beautiful, insistent finish lasts forever. Extremely complex and balanced wine: an absolute delight, definitely still approaching peak.
