Här redovisar och presenterar vi kända vinskribenters utlåtande om specifika viner. Utöver dessa lägger vi in en egen kommentar när vi har provat samma vin.
Gilbert & Gaillard
Subtle nose, fresh fruit, a floral tone and a mineral touch. Ample, full palate that is delicate yet well-structured. The oak is melted and fruit enjoys good exposure. Long, racy finish infused with graphite notes and mild spices. Remarkable.
Wine Enthusiast
This elegant wine is very much in the classic style of Margaux. Although the wood is still showing, the wine has fresh black currant fruits along with an underlying firm, long-lived tannic structure. The aftertaste with its dryness and acidity confirms that. Drink from 2025.
VertdeVin
The nose is aromatic, fine, elegant, intense, powerful and delicate. It reveals fine notes of blackberry and cassis associated with slight hints of tobacco, discreet hints of undergrowth as well as a discreet hint of bell pepper and slight hints of saline minerality. The palate is fruity, mineral, silky, racy, elegant, round, gourmande, quite powerful, quite mellow and offers a nice velvety matter, purity, delicacy, a nice fat and a slight freshness. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of blackberry, juicy cassis and slight notes of raspberry combined with a hint of strawberry, slight notes of dark chocolate / mocha as well as slight touches of oak and a slight hint of caramelization. Tannins are fine and elegant. Good length and persistence. There is a slight grilled hint and cocoa on the persistence.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Tasted blind at the 2012 Southwold tasting, the 2012 Château Margaux has a taut, linear, pencil lead-infused bouquet with pure blackberry and boysenberry scents, an undercurrent of tobacco that surfaces after five minutes in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity, a life-affirming sense of balance with well-integrated new oak towards the finish. I concur with Robert Parker that his has become more structured and masculine in bottle, yet there is pedigree here from start to finish, a sense of effortlessness that is seductive. This is a top-class wine from the late Paul Pontallier and his team.
Druvor
De första provningarna i vinframställningsprocessen bjöd på ett ögonblick av häpnad. Merlot-satserna är anmärkningsvärda: aromerna är fruktiga och mjuka, en rundhet i gommen och rik volym gjorde det möjligt att inkludera dem i en andel på 8% för det första vinet. Cabernet Sauvignon är alltid hjärtat och ramen för Château Margaux, och står för 89% av blandningen. Efter provsmakning var tanninerna perfekt mogna, vilket försäkrade oss om att vårt beslut att vänta några dagar till innan skörden var det rätta valet. Vinernas struktur är fortfarande en sällsynt kombination av kraft och förfining. Cabernet Franc (2%) och Petit Verdot (1%) avrundar blandningen för detta vin. Château Margaux står för 37 % av skörden. (oktober 2018)
