Smoky plum and black currant also shows a blueberry undercoat; nutmeg, cedar and black tobacco. Tart cherry, black cherry, blackberry and tobacco coalesce in the forefront, while pepper, cedar and tobacco finish this lovely wine. #chateaukirwan #kirwan #margaux #grandcruclassé #grandcruclasséde1855 #bordeaux #bordeauxrouge

2016 opened July 2021. Still a little too young for it’s maximum potential IMHO. Leather and loam on the nose. Distinct cherry fruit on the front. Heavy tannic structure — more so than the average Bordeaux — and more so than the most of the Margauxs I’ve had. The tannins kick in on the mid palate. They’re velvety (With a lot of complexity that might be revealed in few years). Unfortunately some sour high notes appear at the mid palate and amplify themselves to the end of the pallet. Very much sour cherries. But this wine redeems itself by having a long but subtle mineral finish. I might retry this wine in three or four years. I can’t give it a better score than 9.1 right now, though. But I might’ve the score in 2024 or 2025. Hopefully, I’ll have a personal jet pack by that time. But heavens no, I won’t drink and fly.
