2004 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux

Red Bordeaux Blend more

1/28/2014 - Man in Black wrote: NR

Clear and bright, deep garnet colour and presence of legs. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium+ intensity aromas of dark plums, blackberries, cassis, truffle, vanilla, cedar and walnuts. The wine is dry with a medium+ acidity, high fine grained tannins, medium alcohol, full body and pronounced intensity flavours of blackberries, dark plums, truffle, cedar and walnuts. Long finish.

It is an outstanding wine with a very good fruit concentration, a lingering finish, a nice complexity provided by oak ageing and tertiary maturity notes and a very good structure. Can drink now, but it has potential to develop more complexity over the next 5-8 years.

This showed better last year. Just didn't quite have the same captivating nose and wasn't quite as developed on the palate. This almost seemed like it was a few years younger than the last bottle. They were purchased separately so that could be why. This wine still hinted at its potential though, and just seemed like it wasn't ready to go.

2015 Carnival Breeze Cruise Wines (Somewhere in the Caribbean): Simply beautiful. This wine is drinking at peak right now and I found this to be the best bottle yet. I can't believe how much better this is drinking now than a few years ago, when it was just "good". The nose was utterly captivating. I am happy to have saved a few bottles. Drinking well after a splash decant.

It took a bit to open with lovely Margaux berries, minerality and lead pencil. Cool fruited and svelte, a wine with verve and the Chateau Margaux signature. Waltzed and pirouetted around its comparatively lead-footed Giscours flight-mate.

Inspiring, thrilling and beguiling entry of Margaux berries in full bloom with faint notes of lead pencil, mineral and rock, in a classy, cool fruited attack, leading onto a super svelte, deft palate, and decent finish, with some residual grippy tannin. So light on its feet, this is a class act; medium-bodied with immaculate balance and elegance, it doesn’t have the power and concentration of a big vintage of Chateau Margaux, but this could easily pass for the Grand Vin in a lighter vintage. Simply magical for a second Wine.

Margaux appelation tasting (Cafe 48, Nahalata Binyamin, TLV): (from memory 10 days later)
not impressing at all, low value for money

Medium bodied, fully mature, with soft, delicate textures, sweet black cherries, floral and cigar box notes, this is a not a wine to age for further development.

Drank this in March 2017. I now realize I did not post a TN....

Meanwhile, notes are lost and can only remember the score I gave and that it was very elegant and harmonious.

Tasted blind alongside another 5 Bordeaux second labels, from the 2004 vintage (with one exception) it was easily identified as margaux and was declared W.O.T.N. with Alter Ego of Palmer as the only serious contender. The 2 wines were equivalent on the nose, but the Pavillon Rouge was superior on the palate. Dark ruby-purple. Sweet aromas of red berries, flowers, sweet spices, hints of leather and graphite. Mid-full bodied, round with fine-grained tanins, nice fruit and high acidity. Very long finish. Excellent. Now-2018.

Beautiful ruby. Young and vibrant looking. Lovely nose of light cassis, black cherry and lily. More peppery and spice notes emerge later. Totally ready and all in balance and integrated. Wonderful cedar and tobacco on the palate, balanced and uplifting acidity with generous rounded fruit. So we’ll made, mid-weight but in a good way making it so enjoyable but with so much going on. Delicious stuff!

Rich, velvety and powerful. Still very tannic. Hold on for at least another 3-5 years to get the best out of this one.

Wine tasting with 10 others. Opened, decanted back into the bottle left for 2 hours. It is very good. Nice and smooth and full of cigar box and blackcurrants. Very enjoyable and very nice and most people agreed. 92 Points

Opened, decanted back into the bottle left for 2 hours and drank over 3 hours. It is very good. Drank it alongside a 98 Lynch Bages and this wasn't as good. It was very smooth and full of cigar box and blackcurrants. Very enjoyable and very nice but the Lynch Bages was a couple of points ahead of it. 92 Points

Very good, unfortunately I was a tad worse for wear so it is very difficult to post some objective notes. It was very nice and subtle with everything in place, everyone else enjoyed it also. I have 5 more bottles and will drink another soon. 90 points

Seems the Pavillon is up and down in quality each year...this one seems just OK, nowhere as good as the 2000.

Jonathan’s/Nick’s 04 Bordeaux (Hawksmoor Guildhall, London): Dense ruby. Broader and meatier on the nose, less precise with some blackcurrant leaf alongside the fruit. Broader palate too, accentuated by being 2–3C° warmer too. Quite rich with less precise definition. A bit more Henry Moore than David; fun though. ****

Un excellent Margaux! Ouvert et laissé en bouteille une heure avant de servir entre 18 et 20°C! Aucun dépot noté dans la bouteille!
L’œil : La robe est d’un rouge rubis dense et assez soutenue.
Le nez : Un très beau bouquet sur les cerises, les fleurs, le cuir et la réglisse.
La bouche : Les arômes sont bien définies et d’une belle complexité. On goute les mures, du chocolat, une pointe mentholée avec de beaux tannins fins, granuleux et bien enrobés. La finale est très longue, persistante et toute en finesse, ça coule bien.
Un très beau Margaux suave alliant précision et pureté, pourra s’améliorer avec un 4-5 années en cave!

Not the best Pavillon I have ever had, but this is the second 2004 Bordeaux I have had recently and neither had much fruit flavor, so it could be that they are just closed down right now. This one lacked fruit flavor and never really gave off that "Pavillon" nose that I have become accustomed to. Will try again in a few years.

Some cedar, smoked meats and toasty earthish oak. Almost too much oak on this and pretty tannic as well. The 2003 was much much better.

Dark, dark garnet. Nose of leather, dust, blackberry, and menthol. Medium palate of blackberry, currant, graphite, and vanilla. Decent length. Pleasant acidity. Sweet tannins. Very good. Nothing really special.

Just awesome. Lingered forever, without that super-granite taste that is (too much) a hallmark of Margaux.

Another 2004 horizontal (Hawksmoor Guildhall): Initially more attractive than the Rauzan, its charms much more conventional. Big, rich, smoky nose, with some exotic musk. Smooth and luxurious on the palate, with attractive blue fruit. Tannins now very well integrated, but there was a nice chew to the finish. Definitely tasty, but the consensus seemed to be that the Rauzan ultimately offered more interest.
