CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 2004

Margaux. 1er Cru Classé
u. bn. marked label.

The 2004 Chateau Margaux has always been a promising wine and here, served blind against the First Growths, it finally proved that patience is necessary when it comes to such wines. It has an exquisite bouquet with brilliant delineation, scents of redcurrant, raspberry coulis, cold stone (almost flint-like) with pencil-lead and cedar lending it a Pauillac-like sense of aristocratic flair. The palate is extremely well balanced with a supple opening, nigh perfect acidity with a surprisingly citric undercurrent that lends so much freshness and tension. This is excellent. Tasted September 2016 Drink: 2020-2050 WA 94

1 bt.    per lot $500 - $700

Realised: $1,320
