67% Cabernet Sauvignon 29% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot. Aged in 50% new French oak. Dense core with a brilliant ruby rim. Bursts with black fruits on the nose followed by a nice perfume of violets and acacia flowers. Rich and concentrated showing velvety tannins and a beautiful core of dark fruit. This is a massive Pavillon with sweet tannins throughout. Dense yet charming. In a word - `Suave'. Bravo.

This is wonderful to taste, with plums, berries, strawberries, and flowers. It's full and creamy textured, with gorgeous ripe tannins and a long, long finish. Such balance. Amazing tannin quality. Second wine of Margaux. One of best Pavillon Rouges ever. Try after 2018.

The estate's second wine, the sexy 2009 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux, offers lots of black raspberry, cedar and foresty/underbrush notes in its round, generous, full-bodied, seductive embrace of black fruits interwoven with floral notes results. This seamless second wine is one of the finest Chateau Margaux has made to date. Enjoy it over the next two decades.

Very sleek, with a lovely winey edge to the plum, cassis and blackberry fruit, laced with roasted apple wood, lilac and singed iron notes. Tangy and lengthy, with ample depth, but also nearly approachable now. Best from 2013 through 2023. -JM
