Château MARGAUX 2004

Description

The 2004 Chateau Margaux has always been a promising wine and here, served blind against the First Growths, it finally proved that patience is necessary when it comes to such wines. It has an exquisite bouquet with brilliant delineation, scents of redcurrant, raspberry coulis, cold stone (almost flint-like) with pencil-lead and cedar lending it a Pauillac-like sense of aristocratic flair. The palate is extremely well balanced with a supple opening, nigh perfect acidity with a surprisingly citric undercurrent that lends so much freshness and tension. While it does not have the weight and power of say, 2000, 2005 or 2009, it cruises along with utmost harmony and you become smitten by its charms – something that is perhaps in short supply among the First Growths in this vintage. This is excellent. Tasted September 2016.

Logo bouchon : un T renversé Couleur sombre et à peine évoluée, belle, brillante. Grand nez subtil, complexe et noble, mûr, profond, fin. Entrée en bouche minutieuse à la château Margaux. Le vin se développe subtil, éclatant de fruit avant de se mettre à fondre avec du goût et de superbes nuances où se mêlent le fruit, la vanille et la fumée. Grande longueur noble et complexe, à peine boisée et surtout incrachable qui me fait préférer ce vin au 2005 en ce moment. Note plaisir : 17 (92)
