2016 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

Dark maroon, notes of spice and pepper on the nose give way to violets and red fruit. There is power behind the charm, though, with a dense concentration on the palate, a vibrant mouth-feel, and a long, almost Burgundian, finish.

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 93+/100
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Pavillon Rouge du Chteau Margaux (composed of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot) bursts forth with exuberant Morello cherries, black raspberries and cassis scents accented by touches of menthol, dark chocolate and garrigue plus a waft of tree bark. The palate is medium-bodied, very elegant, vivacious and fresh with satiny tannins and a nice long finish.Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 30/11/2018

Quite bright cherry red rather than deep crimson. Great quality sandy tannins. Really zesty. But light and very aérien. Really lifted. Drink 2022-2032. jancis_robinson_mw - 17th April 2017
