Red wine
Château Margaux, Pavillon Rouge 2009
RRP £165
The second wine of Château Margaux, this is aristocratic and polished on the nose, with coffee bean and suede aromas that mimic the grand vin. In the mouth is has perfect pitch and poise, nobility even. The fruit is ripe, the structure fine, and the weight just right. It is a very accomplished second wine, with a long finish full of flavour.
