RATINGS

100Wine Spectator

Wine of the vintage and the greatest Château Margaux ever produced. A stunning red. The essence of raspberry, violet and berry, with hints of vanilla and toasted oak. Full-bodied and thick, yet racy, with masses of tannins...

95Robert M. Parker Jr.

The wine is medium to full-bodied, with extraordinary richness, fabulous equilibrium, and hefty tannin in the finish. In spite of its large size and youthfulness, this wine is user-friendly and accessible. This is a thrilling Margaux...

94+ Stephen Tanzer

...Very complex aromas of blackcurrant, wild plum, violets, minerals, tar and smoky oak. Dense and supple, with great sweetness of fruit...

18.5Jancis Robinson

...Mellowing ripe autumn fruit with liquorice and sweetness and some pretty briary tannins on the end. Very exotic but there is sufficient fruit for the tannins here. Long.
