| Description: | 96 De / 95 We / 95 Fs / 94-96 Wa / 94-95 Wci / 94 JS / 94 Ws / 18 Jr. At first the tannins keep this pretty tight, but as it opens up there is an elegance and finesse, along with a subtle floral expression that is clearer in the Château Margaux than the Pavillon. Juicy on the finish, and as it opens further you get a gourmet, dense expression to the raspberry and cassis fruit. Aromatically it is finely knit and uplifting. The iris and peony aromatics of Château Margaux are really to the fore, it's a great vintage to show off this side of the estate. 2% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. 3.6pH. 38% of overall production in the first wine. One of the earliest harvest on record, all finished by end of September which is extremely rare at Margaux. Drinking Window 2021 - 2044 - Jane Anson, Decanter. A solidly structured wine, it is both elegant and intensely powerful. It is disclosing its fruitiness slowly, at the moment dense and concentrated. A restrained edge provides complexity and balance. It will need aging, so don't drink before 2022. Cellar Selection. - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast Dark ruby, purple reflections, delicate rim brightening. Fine nuances of nougat and oak, delicate vanilla, somewhat restrained bouquet, exotic spices, some cardamom. Straightforward on the palate, dark cherry, blackberry, well-ripened tannins, pleasant acidity, peppery, dark nougat, salty and mineral, do not open yet, otherwise decant for four to six hours.-Peter Moser, Falstaff |
