Château des Trois Chardons
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
[En Magnum] Lovely, fresh, crisp, old school Bordeaux from the family who were the cellar masters of Chateau Palmer back during this time frame, 12% ABV, perfumed, violets, soft, plummy fruit, great acidity, longish finish, this wine is about subtlety, not power, excellent!!

Jun 20th, 2026Violets, dark fruits, still tannic and structured, owned and produced by the family of the cellar master of Chateau Palmer, this is wonderful Margaux, needs more cellaring (5-10 years??), excellent juice!!

Jun 23rd, 2023Slight cork taint diminishes this otherwise lovely old school Margaux, nicely balanced, medium-long finish, but not quite what it should be.

Jul 11th, 2021Lovely violet and plum aromas, good structure still, this is drinking beautifully but needs another 10-15 years to really reach its potential, wonderful old-school Bordeaux.
