Poäng 97/100:

Rött vin från Margaux

Efter en down-period under 60- och 70-talet pga ekonomiska problem tog familjen Mentzelopolous över 1977. Redan från och med årgång 1978 var slottet tillbaka på topp och har sedan dess varit det kanske allra jämnaste av förstacru-slotten. Klassiska strama viner som behöver tid på sig. Pavillon Rouge tillhör våra favoriter bland andravinerna i Bordeaux.

97/100

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.

95/100

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.

96/100

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. Tasted January 2016.

VertdeVin

premier grand cru classé of 1855 Margaux De klassiska Bordeauxvinerna är populärare än någonsin. De har en given standard som alla länders vinmakare försöker mäta sig med och de bästa slotten, Mouton-Rothschild, Margaux och Haut-Brion, med flera. Traditionellt ska en röd Bordeaux vara stram med kärva tanniner och ekfatston. Sedan åttiotalet balanseras dock många Bordeauxviner av en rejäl portion frukt, vilket gör att vinet både går att lagra och dricka ungt. Enligt 1855 års klassifikation...
