Description
It offers everything you desire from this First Growth. It is blessed with breathtaking delineation and freshness on the nose, understated at first and then blossoming with mineral-infused black fruit, hints of blueberry, crushed stone and violet. The palate is perfectly balanced with filigree tannin, perfect acidity, a wine where everything seems to be in its right place. Blackberry, crushed stone at the front of the mouth, just a touch of spice towards the finish that shows supreme control. This is a Margaux that seems to light up the senses. It was outstanding in its youth...something that has not changed one bit over the intervening two decades. WA 100

Tasting note
1996年的瑪歌酒莊展現了瑪歌產區的宏偉,帶來了一場融合了香氣和風味的交響樂。酒液呈現中等至深的紅寶石色澤,迎來了濃郁的雪松、煙草和成熟紅果的香氣。口感上,它擁有厚重的體量,光滑如絲絨的單寧,以及豐富圓潤的果實風味,所有這些都被精準的酸度所平衡。結構豐滿,引領至果實的濃縮核心,逐漸過渡到雪松單寧的展示,並以長久和諧的餘韻作結。這款卓越的瑪歌是經典的典範,現在就能令人陶醉,或者珍藏以待未來的品鑑。
The 1996 Chateau Margaux is a testament to the grandeur of the Margaux appellation, offering a symphony of well-integrated aromas and flavors. With a medium to deep ruby-red hue, the wine greets the senses with a rich bouquet of cedar, tobacco, and ripe red fruits. On the palate, it boasts a weighty presence of smooth, velvety tannins and a lavish spread of opulent, rounded fruit, all balanced by a poised acidity. The structure is abundant, leading to a concentrated core of fruit that gracefully transitions to a display of cedary tannins, culminating in a long, harmonious finish. This superb Margaux is a classic in the making, ready to enchant now or be cellared for future indulgence.
