Château Margaux 1998 offers a distinctly classic expression. The estate highlights the vintage’s concentration and how aging has brought roundness and harmony to its initially firm structure. In its October 2025 assessment, the winery notes the freshness of red fruit, nuances of vanilla and roasted notes, and a powerful palate supported by firm tannins, describing it as a wine with great aging potential. These characteristics align with the winery’s overall assessment of the vintage.
