The 2009 Château Margaux is deep garnet in color and features wonderfully fragrant minted cassis

opulent fruit to an epically long finish

It is a wine for special dinners and for collectors who desire a classic Grand Cru Burgundy with impressive character

Château d'Armailhac 5emé Cru Classé, Pauillac, 2005, 75cl 6-set The 2009 Château Margaux isTasted single blind at Southwold. This has a gorgeous, ripe nose with blackberry, bilberry and a touch of plum. Good definition and nice lift. The palate is ripe, chewy tannins, nice depth, clean on the finish. Fresh and lively, quite feminine and a nice grippy finish. Full 'o beans! Drink 2010 2030. Neal Martin, Wine Advocate
