The 2016 Chateau Margaux has a magnificent bouquet with pure black fruit, violet and iris flowers, crushed stone coming through with time. Brilliant delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, wonderful weight and density, pure and delivering that peacock’s tail on the finish. This has a haunting beauty almost unmatched in this vintage. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2030-2070
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Chateau Margaux (blended of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot) sashays out of the glass with glamorous red currants, candied violets, kirsch and crushed blackcurrants scents followed by notions of tilled black soil, forest floor, cast iron pan and cigar box with subtle wafts of lavender and oolong tea. Medium-bodied, mineral laced accents hover over the palate with an ethereal sensation of weightlessness, yet it is super intense with layers of red and black flavors supported by a firm texture of silt-fine tannins, finishing wonderfully fragrant and incredibly long.
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2063
