1999 Chateau Margaux from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 96 points, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 96 points, Winedoctor 96 points, Gary Vaynerchuk - Wine Library TV 96 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 95 points, Vinous 94 points, Jean-Marc Quarin 94 points, Richard Jennings 94 points, The Wine Independent 94 points, Adrian van Velsen - vvWine.ch 94 points. This is the tasting note for 1999 Chateau Margaux from Robert Parker - The 1999 Château Margaux is an immensely charming wine that's drinking beautifully today from both bottle and, in this case, magnum. Bursting with aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries and violets framed by subtle hints of cigar box, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and sensual, with an enveloping core of fruit, ripe and melting tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Analogies with the immensely charming 1985 vintage are very persuasive, as the 1999 is quite reminiscent of how the 1985 tasted fifteen years ago.
