Description:

ChateauMargaux2005
Margaux, 1er Cru Classe
"The first-growth 2005 Château Margaux (85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot),a lavish fragrance of blackcurrants, velvety new saddle leather, spring flowers and spice soars from the glass. The wood is already totally concealed beneath the cascade of fruit in this medium to full-bodied, pure and majestic wine. This concentrated, dense, but nevertheless strikingly elegant, multi-layered wine has a finish of 45+ seconds. It builds incrementally to a crescendo and finale. This is a stunner that can be approached already, but promises to be better in another 5-10 years and last at least 25 or more years." R. Parker for TWA, 98+ pts. 06/15
4 bottles
Estimate $2,100-2,700
