Evolutionary Margaux

Château Margaux 1986 (2 double magnums)

Margaux, Bordeaux

Château Margaux's wines stand the text of time and have an extraordinary ability to evolve. Established in the 17th century, the fine wines from this estate have developed a finesse, an aromatic complexity, and a remarkable presence on the palate. Their adaptive nature has kept the Grand Vin vintages relevant to wine experts, collectors, and novice drinkers alike; it is recognized as one of the greatest wines in the world. In the Château's tasting notes for the 1986, it is observed that "seldom has a vintage been from the start as powerful and concentrated. We would have to go back to the legendary 1961 to find a previous vintage with such richness and such balance."

We have not one, but two double magnums of Château Margaux 1986 from the collection of the late Aubrey K. McClendon in this lot. Add these bottles to your cellar and take home a piece of Lyric's Wine Auction history!
