"Tasted blind after one hour of decanting. Color: Dark red. Blood. Medium to good intensity. Slight evolution. Brilliant. First whiff is clean. Intense. . . . . Fruity. With another vanilla and fine woodiness very present. Light touch of button mushroom. Ferment. Better. Complex and fine. Spice. Quite warm too. What sweetness on the palate, what a caressing texture! The wine develops with great delicacy of structure, then is velvety, suddenly, really melting in the mouth, leaving a tight, long frame and very ripe tannins (for the vintage). We still find the note of mushroom. Beautiful, refined length in this fairly discreet wine, which is swallowed with incredible ease. I recommend drinking it. It will still keep . . ."

The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
The Left Bank appellation prized for perfumed, silky and elegant Cabernet-based wines. Gravel soils yield claret of aromatic finesse and refinement.
Chateau Margaux is a First Growth estate in Margaux, Bordeaux, celebrated for its perfumed, silky and profoundly elegant Cabernet-dominated wines, considered the epitome of the appellation's finesse.
