87 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 8 % Merlot, 3 % Cabernet Franc, 2 % Petit Verdot, 13,1 Vol.-%, pH 3,64, 75 IPT, 36 % Grand Vin. Verführerisches, sehr komplexes Bouquet, getrocknete Rosenblätter, edle Cassiswürze und getrockneter Rosmarin, im zweiten Ansatz heller Tabak, Lakritze und Preiselbeersaft. Am energiegeladenen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, reifem Extrakt, engmaschigem Tanningerüst und perfekt balancierter Rasse. Im konzentrierten Finale mit Wildkirsche, Estragon, schwarzem Bergpfeffer und fein körniger Adstringenz, mir fehlt hier das gewisse Extra, daher reicht es diesmal für die höhere Note noch nicht. 

Wine Advocate 
The 2021 Château Margaux saw a traditional élevage in new barrels, with bottling in July, and as readers will remember, it's a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot that benefited from late picking, appreciable percentages of saignée, and a strict selection. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis, blueberries and raspberries mingled with hints of licorice, white flowers and charcoal, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a broad attack, lively purity and sweet structuring tannins, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. It's a classic that will richly reward bottle age.

A Margaux with beautiful depth and grace and wonderfully well-placed, refined tannins, showing presence and a soft texture. They caress your palate. Full-bodied, yet tight and extremely long. Seamless. 87% cabernet franc, 8% merlot, 3% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot.
