• 97 Gilbert & Gaillard

  Subtle nose, fresh fruit, a floral tone and a mineral touch. Ample, full palate that is delicate yet well-structured. The oak is melted and fruit enjoys good exposure. Long, racy finish infused with graphite notes and mild spices. Remarkable. (April, 2013)

  The 2012 Château Margaux is showing much differently from bottle than it did from cask. Seemingly much fuller and richer, it has a dense ruby/purple color, representing a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest mostly Merlot. It possesses hints of spring flowers intermixed with blueberries, blackberries and cassis fruit, moderate tannin, a multi-dimensional mouthfeel, and a long, structured finish. This 2012 was charming, up-front and precociously styled from barrel, but in bottle it is more masculine, dense and rich. ..This is a great effort from Château Margaux, and should handsomely repay those who buy it.

• 93 Asian Palate (Jeannie Cho Lee MW)

  Lovely, very typical Chateau Margaux nose – violets and jasmine along with blackberry, cassis and cedar. Very approachable with silky texture and good density. The perfume surfaces after about 10 minutes in the glass. This is a classic, cool vintage for Margaux with 13% alcohol and onderful freshness. The attractive, supple texture will make it approachable when young but it will age easily for a few decades. Very long finish. 87% of the blend is Cabernet Sauvignon. (5/15/2013)
