Chateau Margaux Premier Cru Classe, Margaux, 2005

Duty Paid, 5 bottle, 75cl

ID: 251321

Chateau Margaux Premier Cru Classe, Margaux
Chateau Margaux Premier Cru Classe, Margaux
Arrow

Description

85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc. Following a cold winter, a hot sunny spring led to quick flowering in early June with hot and dry weather during July/August. This led to the development of small, concentrated grapes and a much lower yield than in the cool, damp 2004.
Margaux was undoubtedly one of the stars of the tasting, displaying massive, monumental structure suggesting this will be a wine to cellar for several decades to come. Lovely purity and concentration on the palate with black fruit surrounding a core of graphite. Although there were delicate floral notes this seemed more Pauillac than Margaux with a cool character on the palate, fine acidity and polished tannins. A very long future ahead. I scored this very highly in 2009 (18.5/20) and felt it was a standout here. Andy Howard MW (June 2021) JancisRobinson.com
