Pavillon Rouge is the second label of Château Margaux, and the 2000 is a perfumed, silken blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and 7% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Freshly tilled, loamy soil, leather, forest floor, seedy berries, and black currents evokes the memory of some distant springtime, under cloudy skies. I’m especially struck by the distribution of tannins, which are fine and lovely. There is a lightness to this wine, and a certain elegance that rolls out gently, without bravado. — 9 years ago
Smells like an oak bomb with some honey in the back end to the nose. More acid and light citrus finish, oak body more texture you're getting from the beginning of oak but not super oaky. Little bit of toast too. Great wine — 10 years ago

You can definitely smell the Riesling's influence at 35% and the Pinot blanc at 33% seems to do the job of sliming it out and giving it some vibrancy - then the Pinot gris and gerwurztraminer give it a bit of elegance. Interesting and delicious white. — 11 years ago

This takes "intensity" to an entirely new plane. As dark as 20 degree API crude oil (no exaggeration), concentration of pomegranate molasses. — 9 years ago
