At the end of a comparatively lacklustre Margaux flight (the eponymous first growth coming later), suddenly we’re onto something more regal and high falutin, with Château Margaux’s second wine. This has a slightly higher forehead if you will. In the mouth it boasts luscious, succulent, high-toned fruit, with a delicate, precise frame. A delightful wine, with a velvet-fisted powerful core worthy of the vintage.
