Score 17/20 · Drink 1976-2000, Jancis Robinson MW, Dec 2009

Lively treacly ruby. Sweet and a bit treacly with a hint of oxidation. Fresh and drying out. But with lots of charm. Dusty. (JR)

The 1959 Château Margaux is a splendid wine even if it lags behind its First Growth peers. This example possesses a touch more fruit on the nose than previous ones, redcurrant and strawberry, wilted rose petals and hints of Provençal herbs unfurling in the glass, though there are no fireworks. The palate is very well balanced with admirable precision, real weight and presence, and then it eases back to a harmonious finish. The precocity of that season is tangible, though it politely refuses to deliver the pizzazz and audacity you can find elsewhere.
