Tasting Note: “I was surprised at just how good the 1947
is because I had never been that impressed with most of the
Médocs from that vintage. Among the first-growths in
1947, it is superior to Lafite and Latour, and just behind
the great Mouton. Quite perfumed, rich, and full bodied,
the 1947 Margaux is capable of another decade of
evolution. Moreover, there is none of the volatile acidity or
harshness that often creeps into many of the Médocs from
that year.”
