Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1926

Tasted blind. Dark amber/tawny color. Notes of brown sugar, hickory, earth, saddle leather and some cola. Sweet to the taste with lots of complexity. Fruit is still present, with tannins fully resolved of course. Guesses by the boyz are 50’s Bordeaux, but I think it’s older. I’ve had two really old bottles of Chateau Margaux from the 20s and 30s, and I think it’s in that camp so I go with a guess of Margaux from the 20’s. Bingo. We’re told this was given many hours in the decanter and then we consumed it over 3 hours… it was alive from start to the last drop. What a great experience to drink grape juice that is nearly 100 years old. Bravo and thanks Stan! — 5 years ago

Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 1926

Nobody could pick the decade but we were all close in the pedigree. Just a great experience to have something with this age yet still have time in front of it. — 11 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1926

Cherry coke colour. Surprisingly there was still blackberries in this wine, a 1926 vintage! Also got espresso/cocoa, oak, and tobacco. The mouth was thin with balanced acid and few smooth tannins. An incredible experience! — 13 years ago

Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1926

Tasted blind. Dark reddish brown color, port-like in color and in the nose. Notes of raisins, molasses, tobacco. What is this? While it seems like it could be Madeira, the impact in the mouth and the tastes in no way resemble that. Someone threw out the guess that it could be really old Bordeaux. Yep. Drinking some history tonight! — 6 years ago

Château Durfort-Vivens

Margaux Second Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 1926

Chateau Durfort Vivens 1926 , Margaux 2nd Growth drunk as a birth year wine at a celebration of a birthday party for my 89 year old mother-in-law Rosy Isabelle! Wine was purchased about 12 years ago from a retired estate sale guy. Wine was imported by Louden Imports, Albuquerque, N.M. Probably in the 1980s from Whitwham & Co. In England. I have no idea how it was stored before i got it. Fill was just at should to a little below. Cork disintegrated while being drawn out with a 1920s era Sanbri Pronged Cork Puller. Color was brickish with some clarity issues. We did not exhibit any apparent oxidation with just slight hints of dried red fruits, but mostly musty and earthy characteristics. I drank for over 30 minutes without a dip in quality. Overall, a great experience! Perhaps giving it a higher rating than it truly deserves, but there it is! — 11 years ago

This is part of a series of wines i have had the honor of drinking and were shared with my family, they have ended up on the mantle piece. Many more are missing but i wanted to create an archive... This is not being posted to make anyone jealous. I'm just part of a wine family and of course many friends share some precious gems with us. — 12 years ago
