RATINGS

95Robert M. Parker Jr.

..nose displays notes of melted licorice, crushed rock, blueberries and black raspberries. A wine of extraordinary balance, equilibrium, and purity, with supple tannins, this medium to full-bodied, concentrated effort is already compelling

93Wine Spectator

Intense aromas of crushed berries, earth, meat and spice. Full-bodied, with super-well-integrated tannins and a long, green tobacco and berry finish. This is an estate on the rise...

91Stephen Tanzer

..Sweet but firm, with sound acidity contributing excellent vinosity & leavening the wine's richness. Expressive flavors of raw currant, game & truffle. Thick but not overly fat, finishing with firm tannic spine and excellent persistence.

17.5Jancis Robinson

...Very deep colour with lift and toasty oak. Very seductive blend of ripeness and a tantalising sense of much left in reserve.

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.
