Nose

The bouquet is superb.

Palate

1955 combined most of the characteristics that are necessary to make a great vintage, in particular, a hot, dry August and excellent conditions during the harvest. Château Margaux 1955 was a success.

The palate is perfectly harmonious. It lacks perhaps a bit more density that would justify describing it as a truly great vintage. It is perfect to enjoy now, but its development in bottle, and especially in magnum, could surprise us yet. - March 2017
