Château Margaux
Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Nose clean no Bret. NoVA Nose still showed some fruit. Flavor was amazing. Still bright clean fruit. Cleansing acidity.

Nov 20th, 2019What a beautifully graceful wine! A bit muted on the nose (slow ox for three hours - perhaps I should have decanted) but one of the most amazingly expressive palates I have experienced for a very long time. All the elements in perfect equilibrium; one of the rare times that I would actually apply the term 'smooth' to a wine. Tannins still lightly peppery, poised acidity, and an insanely long velvety finish that kept revealing hidden layers of complexity. Like a Burgundian peacock's tail that keeps expanding, adding new layers of graceful shades and patterns to the rolling tapestry of flavour.
