Chateau Margaux Margaux 2004
|
Bright red-ruby. Knockout nose features boysenberry, currant, cedar, graphite and mocha. Suave, gentle and sweet, already displaying ineffable inner-mouth perfume. The 17% merlot component injects a silky component, and the oak element adds a complementary sweetness. Complex, lush, horizontal finish saturates the mouth with flavor. It was not clear to me in April that the 2006 would exceed this-and it will certainly take longer to reach full maturity in bottle.

Powerful and superlong. Gorgeous aromas of blackberry, mineral and currant. Full-bodied and solid, with muscular tannins and a long, long finish. Really balanced and refined. Paul Pontailler, the technical director, says that it reminds him of the 1996 but may be even better; a blend of 1995 and 1996. Maybe. Very close to 95-100. Score range: 92-94
