2005 Château Margaux: A Masterpiece in the Making

The 2005 Château Margaux is a truly extraordinary wine, embodying the power and elegance that define this legendary First Growth. Its intricate bouquet unfolds with layers of black and red fruit, intertwined with notes of pressed flowers, cedar, and graphite. Over time, delicate hints of blue fruit emerge, adding further complexity to its aromatic profile.

On the palate, this vintage is intense and vividly expressive, offering deep flavors of blackberry, damson, and cedar, with a subtle touch of cassis reminiscent of Pauillac. The wine’s structure is remarkable, fanning out beautifully on a mineral-driven finish that lingers with finesse. While already showing immense promise, the 2005 Château Margaux remains in its early stages of evolution—patience will be rewarded as it continues to develop over the coming years.

Varieties: Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with a touch of Petit Verdot.
