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! 

Wine Advocate 
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.

The 2019 Château Margaux, bottled in July 2021, is absolutely divine on the nose. It unfurls to reveal exquisitely defined black fruit infused with graphite, Japanese nori and just a hint of potpourri and crushed stone. This is supremely well focused, refined and correct, so much so that you would think it comes from a cooler growing season. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant, filigreed tannins that envelop the senses. Flavors of blackberry and bilberry, tinged with sea salt and black pepper, merge into a slightly more sensual finish that is still quintessentially Margaux. I used the word "effortless" in my note from barrel, and that rings true in bottle, though maybe there is now even more persistence. Quite stunning. 

James Suckling 
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.
