RATINGS

94James Suckling

...very delicious and attractive nose offering ample dark berries and plums with cocoa and freshly cut bracken...palate has a smooth, fan-like array of fine but sturdy tannins that carry very fresh and upbeat into the finish.

94Wine Enthusiast

Richly structured, this dense wine has solid tannins that balance with the black fruits. It is a complex wine, poised and confident while not losing sight of the Margaux elegance.

93Wine Spectator

...steeped boysenberry, raspberry and blackberry compote flavors forming a core that is coiled up with bramble, singed mesquite and anise notes. Lots of juicy energy through the finish, with a mouthwatering streak of graphite. Rock-solid.

93+ Jeb Dunnuck

Black cherries, currants, smoke tobacco, graphite, and hints of earth...beautifully layered, medium-bodied, and concentrated...shines for its purity and precision, while still offering beautiful depth of fruit.

92-94The Wine Advocate

...intense bouquet with floral aromas filtering through the black cherries, cassis and boysenberry notes...palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. Silky smooth with very well-judged acidity, there is a sorbet-like freshness imbued into this Margaux and it just glides across the palate towards the quite sensual finish.

91Vinous / IWC

...super-concentrated, potent Margaux. Raspberry jam, mocha, licorice, plum, new oak and spice are all lavishly rendered. Broad and sweeping on the palate, with tremendous richness and resonance...

France, Bordeaux, Margaux

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.
