Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Château Margaux (blended of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot) sashays out of the glass with glamorous red currants, candied violets, kirsch and crushed blackcurrants scents followed by notions of tilled black soil, forest floor, cast iron pan and cigar box with subtle wafts of lavender and oolong tea. Medium-bodied, mineral laced accents hover over the palate with an ethereal sensation of weightlessness, yet it is super intense with layers of red and black flavors supported by a firm texture of silt-fine tannwhen this reaches full maturity.ins, finishing wonderfully fragrant and incredibly long.

Aromas of graphite, earth and black currants. It is really elegant, nuanced and delicate, with precise, subtle fruit and an almost ethereal palate. The tannins are tender, yet with enough focus and precision to be cohesive and fully integrated. Elegance at its best. Drinkable now, but it will evolve toward an even more delicate and beautiful expression with time. Drink or hold. 10 Years On retrospective.

The 2016 Château Margaux has a magnificent bouquet with pure black fruit, violet and iris flowers, crushed stone coming through with time. Brilliant delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, wonderful weight and density, pure and delivering that peacock's tail on the finish. This has a haunting beauty almost unmatched in this vintage. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

Showing consistently and from a bottle purchased locally and drunk over multiple days, the 2016 Château Margaux is a magical wine that tastes like the essence of Margaux. Red and black currants, blueberries, spring flowers, sandalwood, and crushed violet notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a pure, elegant, seamless profile, gorgeous concentration, and a great finish. The level of freshness, purity, and precision paired with concentration and intensity is truly something to behold. It has some accessibility even today, yet it's going to take another decade for this to come close to the early stages of its prime drinking window. It's going to be a 50-75+ year wine.
