Château Margaux
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
The 2nd wine in the Downs Club First Growth Lunch last Saturday. A beautiful perfume. I’ve always thought that Margaux is very feminine whereas Latour is very masculine. Medium weight, very savoury, a delight to drink - fluid resolved tannins. No sign of coming from the hot drought year of 2003. The 1982 Margaux is still one of the best reds I’ve ever had.

Much more supple, tangy and clear than the 1990 alongside. Great purity and savory notes. Fresh. An exceptional bottle.

Intense and perfumed. Plummy deep rich fruit with hints of cherry and floral notes. Round and plush with great texture. Sexy fruit.

I had the pleasure par taking in this 2014 Margaux du Chateau Margaux. This is the third lable from Chateau Margaux a blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot.
On the nose were beautiful perfume notes, black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant, spice, cassis, light herbaceous note, lilacs and earth.
On the palate there is black cherry, blackberry, plum, black currant, light oak, spice, cassis, graphite and earth.
This wine is medium bodied with a smooth velvety mouthfeel medium + acidity and medium + fine grippy tannins that leaves you with a long dark fruit graphite finish. The week looks great ahead maintaining a level mind and cool head. Stay healthy and safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
