1926 Chateau Margaux - magnum

Ullage - Into neck.
Original label, recorked

A wonderful Magnum of 1926. The Chateau claim it to be one of the great Margaux to drink now. Rather like the 1928, the '26 vintage was warm and late and initially turned out a tannic austere wine which took a long time to soften. This should be quite superb. Can it be kept without being drunk till it's 100^th birthday?

From the temperature-controlled cellar of a South of France estate, owned by a distinguished collector of fine and rare mature wines. It is worth noting that the prized damp conditions, ideal for ageing, have led to some label deterioration.
