Château Margaux
Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
The first opened of these. Deep and sexy on the nose. Deep plum fruit with an inky saline middle. Violets at the edges and then a lovely fresh finish. This is really good stuff. A little young but showing a lot now. In a decade I think this will be amazing.

Giving absolute credence to the reputation that the wines from the Margaux commune show, both displayed an elegance allied with a subtle power and perfect balance, especially 2005.
2000 had a trace pyrazine note that I found unexpected, and quite frankly not that enjoyable. Outside of that the wine was perfect. The second bottle did not throw it as strong, so not exactly in the clear on this night.
The 2005 was in perfect shape, drink now or age it another 20 years easy, this was so enjoyable and balanced with perfect tannin integration and a seamless, dense and pure finish that sailed on forever.

Complejidad a raudales. Minerales con terciarios y ligeras notas animales muy bien integradas . Boca espectacular. Largo y complejo en retronasal, un espectáculo de vino!!!

So elegant and sexy. Deep ruby. Wet forest on the nose. The palate had so many levels. Velvety, full, dark chocolate, integrated oak, massively long finish. After 8 hrs still taste violets in my palate. Such a special bottle. Truly lucky to have enjoyed this amongst good friend.
