Château Margaux Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

$999

...composed of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc...wine such as this is like the quintessence of terroir. A super, uber-concentrated perfume of creme de cassis and flowers cascades across the palate with a lightness of being despite massive concentration, a sumptuous personality, and an unctuous texture. I have never tasted a Chateau Margaux quite like this. It should be relatively drinkable at an early age, yet will last for 50-100 years. Oh my!... Robert Parker

Way to ring in the New Year! Lithe, feminine nose led a nicely delineated palate of dark red fruit, cigar box and velvety tannins. Wonderful.

A big, young Bord. Rich taste, lots if dark fruits, cassis, good acidity, big tannins, fresh with a long, long finish.

Is there any better wine out there? I seriously doubt it. Prodigious!

Still needs to be stored for at least 2 more years, but an incredible wine

Young but very fruity. Great texture with surprisingly soft tannins for its youthfulness. Tons of red floral notes
