2017 Chateau Margaux Grand Vin Premiere Grand Cru Classe, Margaux 750ML (99 Points - James Suckling; 98 Points - Wine Advocate; 98 Points - Jeb Dunnuck)

Dave's Tasting Notes: Luxurious and Dense

The 2017 Château Margaux Grand Vin is a floral, layered Médoc classic of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Violet, kirsch, and cassis aromas meet touches of pencil shavings and rose petal. Refined on the palate with ripe cherry, blackberry, and spice, it carries silky tannins and graceful balance. The finish is long, perfumed, and laced with crushed rock and dried florals. A poised First Growth, showing depth and transparency in a challenging vintage.
