Community Tasting Note

  April 20, 2015 - The flamboyant 1996 is another momentous Chateau Margaux. It is endowed with a lavish deep ruby core and exuberant aromas of blueberries, chocolate, led pencil shavings, damp earth and cigar humidor. This hedonistic concoction spoils the palate with its incredibly soft texture and perfectly integrated, well polished tannins while revealing delicate, yet pronounced notes of wild raspberries, burnt tar, caramel, kirsch and creme de cassis. And as one may expect after such a high display of refinement and finesse the endless velvety finish is yet another stunning quality of this truly outstanding wine. A marvel with a long and bright future ahead of it still. Enjoy it over the next twenty-five years.
