RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

(Neal Martin's Wine Journal) ...pure unadulterated Cabernet on the nose with superlative definition and vigour... a beguiling tobacco tinged finish that displays superb delineation and focus... actually reminds me of a top Lafite! Divine.

95Wine Spectator

This has a wonderful nose of perfume, sandalwood, ripe plum and berries. Full-bodied, with seamless tannins and a long finish.

95Wine Enthusiast

The tannins are soft, although producing a dense web that lies underneath the black currant and plum fruit flavors. It is a wine that envelops the mouth, an edge of firmness over velvet fruit textures... floats away slowly on the close.

94+ Robert M. Parker Jr.

...exhibits impressive density, a deeper color, and the beautifully textured, pure style that is a hallmark of this estate. Moreover, it is relatively precocious, and can be drunk now or cellared for 25+ years.

93Stephen Tanzer

Deep but reticent aromas of redcurrant, tobacco leaf, licorice and loam. Juicy, fine-grained and suave, with good definition and a seamless, spherical texture to the currant and soil flavors. Finishes with a fine dusting of tannins...

17Jancis Robinson

Toasty nose and then very easy, fairly complex fruity appeal.

Margaux is one of Bordeaux’s most famous appellations and also one of its largest, with about 3,400 acres of vineyards. Located on the Left Bank of the Gironde River, Margaux has the greatest number of classified-growth châteaux (or crus classé) according to the 1855 classification. There are twenty-one crus classé, including the most famous estate, the first growth Château Margaux. The Margaux appellation includes vineyards around the village of Margaux and the villages of Arsac, Cantenac, d’Issan, Labarde and Soussans. Wines from the best Margaux châteaux and vintages are prized for their perfumey fragrance and elegant, silky mouthfeel. Margaux wines are predominately Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
