Among the first-growths in1947, it is superior to Lafite and Latour, and just behindthe great Mouton. Quite perfumed, rich, and full bodied,the 1947 Margaux is capable of another decade ofevolution. Moreover, there is none of the volatile acidity orharshness that often creeps into many of the Médocs fromthat year.”HK$360,000-410,00019
