Weinwisser 
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 is clearly one of the finest wines of the vintage. Offering up a deep bouquet of raspberries, wild blueberries and plums mingled with sweet spices, violets, licorice and hints of cigar box, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with terrific depth at the core and beautifully refined, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, floral finish. Combining the vibrant flavors and moderate alcohol (13.1%) of a vintage of the last century with all the precision of the present in extraction and élevage, it is a timeless classic; and lest that be mistaken for a euphemism for a lack of concentration, note that the wine is analytically as high in polyphenols as the brilliant 2019. Representing only 36% of the estate's production, the 2021 is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. 

James Suckling 
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.
