99 Robert Parker
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Château Margaux (blended of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot) sashays out of the glass with glamorous red currants, candied violets, kirsch and crushed blackcurrants scents followed by notions of tilled black soil, forest floor, cast iron pan and cigar box with subtle wafts of lavender and oolong tea. Medium-bodied, mineral laced accents hover over the palate with an ethereal sensation of weightlessness, yet it is super intense with layers of red and black flavors supported by a firm texture of silt-fine tannins, finishing wonderfully fragrant and incredibly long.

It’s very friendly and warm on the nose showing flowers, such as roses, and red fruit. But then on the palate, it lets you know how serious it is. Full-bodied, yet reserved, extremely tight and well-formed with super polished tannins that go on for minutes. A solid and typical Margaux with all the personality and beauty in strength. Try after 2027.

The 2016 Château Margaux has an intense bouquet of blackberry, briar, crushed stone and subtle cedar aromas that enrapture the senses; hints of pencil box and sous-bois emerge with time. The harmonious palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, and a touch of bitterness lends tension on the finish. Impressive – very impressive. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting.

Beautifully rendered, with a lush and seamless flow of cassis, steeped cherry, warmed raspberry and gently mulled blackberry fruit flavors gliding through. Light lilac, savory, mesquite and mineral accents underline the finish, adding additional texture and length. Deep and long, with sublime definition and gorgeous fruit. Best from 2024 through 2040. 10,833 cases made. — JM

Château Margaux

Dies ist zweifellos das stattlichste unter den Châteaux im Médoc. Die prachtvolle Fassade mit der majestätischen baumbestandenen Auffahrt spricht Bände vom Status des Château Margaux. Im 19. Jahrhundert erbaut, repräsentiert es noch immer stolz eine jahrhundertealte Weinbautradition. Der gebürtige Grieche André Mentzelopoulos kaufte das Anwesen 1949, und seit den 1980er Jahren führt seine Tochter seine gut etablierten Praktiken fort. 1983 stieß der inzwischen verstorbene Paul Pontallier mit nur 27 Jahren als technischer Direktor zum Team. Dieses traditionelle Château unter der Führung einer jungen, aber talentierten Mannschaft hat sich zu einem der besten in Bordeaux entwickelt. Das 262 Hektar große Anwesen produziert als Aushängeschild seinen Cabernet-Sauvignon-betonten Grand Vin Château Margaux, ferner als bemerkenswerten Zweitwein Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux sowie einen für Margaux einzigartigen reinen Sauvignon Blanc, den Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux.
