Red wine

Château Margaux, Pavillon Rouge 2009

RRP £164

The nose still has sappiness, hints of tar amongst the bright black fruit. Concentrated and intense, the acidity sets your palate a-tingle most deliciously. The tannins are velvety but robust and full of verve, underpinning lovely blackcurrant and other dark fruits. Succulent and barely out of the starting blocks.

Fine old vintages of Bordeaux’s Château Margaux astonish and delight

It may be one of the world’s grandest wine properties but Château Margaux is marked by the informality and warmth of its owners - and the agelessness of its wines
