1970 Château Margaux 1er Cru Classé Margaux AOC,
Château Margaux
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate :
The 1970 is better than the 1971 or 1975, but certainly exceeded in quality by most of the classified growths of the Medoc, not to mention a good number of Crus Bourgeois. This is certainly the type of wine to foster consumer ill-will toward expensive, presumably ``great'' first-growth Bordeaux. Compact, austere, lacking fruit and richness, this wine has adequate color and tannins, but not much flesh to cover the bones. Time may help, but then again, it may not. Anticipated maturity:
Now-may be in decline.
