Amazing aromas of crushed stones and wet soil with fresh mushrooms, then going on to violets and other flowers. Dark fruit, too. Full-bodied, yet agile and fine, with a linear flow of tannins that run through the center of palate. The finesse of the tannins is exceptional, like raw silk and changing all the time. Cool and energetic, yet reserved. Zen-like. 37% of the production and 90% cabernet sauvignon, 7% merlot, 2% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. So well balanced that you can drink it now, but this is one to leave for a decade and more. Ethereal.

Is the 2019 Château Margaux the wine of the vintage? A strong case in its favor could certainly be made. Soaring from the glass with aromas of blackberries, raspberries, rose petals, violets, pencil shavings and vine smoke, it's full-bodied, layered and sensual, with a strikingly vibrant core of fruit that's framed by ripe, powdery tannins and bright acids, concluding with a penetrating, mouthwateringly saline finish of almost interminable duration. Complex, elegant and utterly compelling, this is a brilliant Bordeaux that anyone with the requisite disposable income is going to want to own.

90 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 % Merlot, 2 % Cabernet Franc, 1 % Petit Verdot, 13,9 %-vol., 37 % der Ernte. Purpur mit rubinrotem Rand. Ein royales Parfüm nach schwarzen Johannisbeeren, Sandelholz und Brasiltabak. Im zweiten Ansatz Brombeeren, Sternanis und verführerischer Irisduft. Am königlichen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, kakaoartigem Tannin und perfekt stützender Rasse, die der Delikatesse Halt und Länge gibt. Im gebündelten, nicht enden wollenden Finale ein Feuerwerk von kleinen schwarzen Beeren, Graphitspuren, dunkler tiefgründiger Terroirwürze; die perfekte Symbiose aus beeindruckender Balance und der eindrücklichen Intensität der Rasse katapultiert den Wein auf den 1. Platz in der Appellation! Erinnert stark an den Jahrgang 2009 mit einem Tick mehr Frische und an 1996 aufgrund der perfekten Cabernet-Reife!

This could be the most sensual vintage of Chateau Margaux ever produced. The palate is pure silk and velvet with an incredible sense of purity and refinement. Utterly seamless, the wine glides over your palate builds, lingers, and expands for well over 60 seconds. If you have ample disposable income, buy this wine, it will be a legendary wine in the years to come. Drink from 2029-2065.
