CHATEAU MARGAUX FROM THE ACCLAIMED 2005
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Margaux--Vintage 2005
Margaux, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: Another celestial effort from Paul Pontallier and Corinne Mentzelopoulus, the 2005 Margaux, a blend of 85 Cabernet Sauvignon and 15 Merlot, boasts a dense opaque blue/purple colour as well as an extraordinary bouquet of spring flowers, blueberries, black raspberries, crème de cassis, liquorice, and, despite its having spent two years in 100 new wood, only a subtle touch of toasty oak. Although full-bodied, the wine seems light on its feet because of the silky tannins as well as the great gravel terroir from which it comes. Beautiful purity, length, and nobility define this modern day classic. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #176 (Apr 2008)
