Chateau Margaux 2006 750ml
$2496.99 price per bottle
Chateau Margaux, a Premier Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux, is one of the most famous wines in the world. Care has been lavished on the property by a line of owners with an abiding concern for the reputation of the estate. This wine has an extraordinary aromatic finesse, a tannic richness and a particularly dense and tight knit texture. The finish is very long, fresh and lively, a little bit firm but already packed with flavour. Such balance is a brilliant expression of Chateau Margaux's noble terroir. 95 Points Wine Enthusiast This is not a big Château Margaux, its style showing more elegance and discretion. The tannins are soft, although producing a dense web that lies underneath the black currant and plum fruit flavours. It is a wine that envelops the mouth, an edge of firmness over velvet fruit textures. 94+ Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate It is worth noting that when the bottled 2006 Chateau Margaux, which appeared closed and less impressive than I had predicted from barrel, was re-tasted alongside the remarkable 2008, I elevated my score to 94+. It does not possess the size or power of the 2008 or 2005, but the 2006 exhibits impressive density, a deeper colour, and the beautifully textured, pure style that is a hallmark of this estate. Moreover, it is relatively precocious, and can be drunk now or cellared for 25+ years.
