Question: Do you prefer the 1990 or 1989 Vintage for Margaux?
Answer: Two excellent hotter twin years for Bordeaux wines. Not sure if you are asking for the Margaux appellation generally or specifically Chateau Margaux. For the latter your scribe prefers the outstanding 1990 Chateau Margaux. However, for neighbouring Chateau Palmer prefers the wonderful 1989 over the 1990. Hard to give an over all answer and is better to go property by property in Margaux AC for both vintages.
1989 is also the preferred choice for the Pessac-Leognan region with stars Haut-Brion & La Mission Haut-Brion.
