The alcohol weighs in at 13.5%, the IPT is 80 and the pH is 3.67. Displaying an opaque purple-black color, it needs a lot of air, time and patience to coax out the youthfully reticent nose of blueberry preserves, blackcurrant pastilles and Black Forest cake, followed by suggestions of lavender, clove oil, iron ore and menthol with wafts of star anise and candied violets. The medium to full-bodied palate is wonderfully opulent, featuring tightly wound yet beautifully pure layers of black fruits and earthy nuances within a solid structure of firm yet velvety tannins and exhilarating freshness, finishing with very long-lingering earth and mineral notes. Another stunning expression of the vintage by Philippe Bascaules and his team.","Blurb3":null,"ItemNumber":87192,"LimitedToStores":false,"Score1":"(97-99)","Score2":"(97-99)","Score3":null,"SourceId1":7,"SourceId2":1,"SourceId3":0,"Id":28886},"BlurbSource":{"Name":"Vinous Media","Abbreviation":"VM","Id":7},"CategoryId":1,"Producer":"Chateau Margaux","Id":175895,"CustomProperties":{}},{"Name":"1983 Chateau Margaux - Margaux","ShortDescription":null,"FullDescription":null,"SeName":"1983-chateau-margaux-margaux","StockQuantity":7,"Sku":"25","BottleSize":"750ml","ProductType":"SimpleProduct","MarkAsNew":false,"ProductPrice":{"OldPrice":null,"OldPriceValue":null,"Price":"$899.00","PriceValue":899.0000,"BasePricePAngV":null,"BasePricePAngVValue":null,"DisableBuyButton":false,"DisableWishlistButton":false,"DisableAddToCompareListButton":true,"AvailableForPreOrder":false,"PreOrderAvailabilityStartDateTimeUtc":null,"IsRental":false,"ForceRedirectionAfterAddingToCart":false,"DisplayTaxShippingInfo":false,"CustomProperties":{}},"DefaultPictureModel":{"ImageUrl":"https://bassins.com/images/thumbs/007/0074730_1983-chateau-margaux-margaux_360.jpeg","ThumbImageUrl":null,"FullSizeImageUrl":"https://bassins.com/images/thumbs/007/0074730_1983-chateau-margaux-margaux.jpeg","Title":"Show details for 1983 Chateau Margaux - Margaux","AlternateText":"Picture of 1983 Chateau Margaux - Margaux","CustomProperties":{}},"ProductSpecificationModel":{"Groups":[],"CustomProperties":{}},"ReviewOverviewModel":{"ProductId":169966,"RatingSum":0,"TotalReviews":0,"AllowCustomerReviews":false,"CanAddNewReview":true,"CustomProperties":{}},"Blurb":{"Author1":"William Kelley","Author2":null,"Author3":null,"Blurb1":"One of the wines I opened to celebrate the end of harvest in Burgundy this year was a bottle of the 1983 Château Margaux, and I was blessed with a perfect cork, something that isn\u0027t a given with this vintage.
