A Hidden Gem of Margaux at Its Absolute Best
Some wines surprise you, and then some wines leave you absolutely speechless! This 1985 Chateau Desmirail is the latter. Tasting this for the first time was nothing short of revelatory. With a 9.5/10 rating, this is undeniably one of the finest 1985s we've ever experienced.
After an hour of decanting, the bouquet unfolds immensely expressive aromas of wild mushrooms, aged leather, and dried violets, drawing you into the glass. On the palate, the wine stuns with silky softness, deep dark fruits, and remarkable finesse, embodying the very essence of Margaux’s elegance and femininity.
Astonishingly, this can even rival Chateau Margaux itself—except while Margaux still demands time, Chateau Desmirail 1985 is in its prime and ready to drink now!
A true Third Growth (sharing ranks with La Lagune), this wine is a collector’s delight, offering depth, complexity, and an utterly captivating experience. If you’re looking for a refined, perfectly aged Margaux, this is your golden opportunity. (02/2025)
