Fabulous aromas of flowers with hints of strawberries and currants. Extremely aromatic. This is full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a racy finish. It is very finely structured but chewy and austere. I like the tension to this. Try in 2018.

A solidly structured wine, it is both elegant and intensely powerful. It is disclosing its fruitiness slowly, at the moment dense and concentrated. A restrained edge provides complexity and balance. It will need aging, so don't drink before 2022.

This has a restrained core of steeped plum, blackberry and anise, studded with tobacco and roasted cedar notes. The structure is silky but persistent, with an almost-succulent feel through the finish, while warm bergamot, singed cedar, vanilla and sanguine hints define the finish. Discreet today, but shows the balance and precision to unfold slowly with cellaring. Best from 2017 through 2030.
Chateau Margaux is known for exceptional Bordeaux with staggering consistency. Director Paul Pontallier has been at the estate for over 30 years, overseeing numerous legendary vintages. Fittingly the Chateau is one of the grandest and most imposing, nicknamed ‘the Versailles of the Medoc.’ They have always had a rich history but their current dominance began when it was purchased by the Mentzelopoulos family in 1977, bringing huge investment.
