Château Margaux

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Well I must say this was a pretty interesting lunch I had yesterday at the Chicago Cut Restaurant. This 2009 Margaux du Chateau Margaux our client chose to have with our meal. This was on the wine list at $165 and it can be bought at K&L for $99.99. So I would say not a bad mark up. This is Margaux 3rd wine and a very nice Bordeaux. I was really impressed being a 3rd wine and am sure being from the 2009 vintage didn't hurt. This had a very rich and fruity nose. There is kirsch, black currant, a spicy note and some cocoa. I was really excited to get into this but I had to subdue my excitement and take my time after all I was with a client that chose the wine. I waited patiently until my guest took his first sip. Upon first taste I found the wine very smooth with supple tannins. There were nice blackberry, currant, blueberries, cream de cassis, vanilla, and violet notes. I would definitely call this medium to full bodied with nice medium + acidity that leads to a long enjoyable finish. This is a wonderful bottle of wine and could pass for Margaux 2nd wine. This wine is very drinkable now. — 11 years ago

One of the first bottles that I coravin'd. Enjoyed 3 times since February, but it reached a new peak last night and today: so floral yesterday and meaty today. — 12 years ago

Loved pouring these alongside Laurent Lignier yesterday at #lapaulee Verticals. Always been a favorite domaine. The VV 1er comes from two 1er plots in MSD - one planted in 1950, the other in 1936. 00 was a stunner. Ethereal, but with a brooding, earthy power. — 11 years ago
