Château Margaux Premier Cru Classé, Margaux, 2006

The 2006 Château Margaux represents some of the most extraordinary aromatic finesse the estate has produced in the past two decades, with tannic richness second only to the 2005. The texture is dense and tight-knit, the palate packed with flavour even in its current relative youth. Particularly firm but already revealing the layered complexity of fruit, spice, and mineral that characterizes the finest Margaux, the finish is very long, fresh, and lively. A wine of genuine greatness and substantial ageing potential that continues to reward the patience of those who have held it.
