19 Dec 2019 ? There is ripeness and opulence to this in an almost exotic and sassy way. Crushed berries with chocolate and spice. Floral and cashmere undertones. This starts off slowly and just rolls off the palate with beautifully polished tannins and a salty minerally note to the long extended tannins. Really brilliant. So classy. Structured. Try after 2025.

The 2017 Chateau Margaux is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon 8% Merlot 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored it needs a little coaxing to reveal alluring notes of blackcurrant cordial Black Forest cake and black raspberries with suggestions of candied violets tilled soil fallen leaves licorice and espresso plus wafts of underbrush and rosehip tea. Medium-bodied the elegance and finesse on the palate is simply bedazzling exuding a quiet intensity of fresh black fruits layered with oh-so-subtle floral and earth nuances. It has a soft velvety texture and seamless freshness to support the tightly wound flavors finishing long and perfumed. Beautiful! This grand vin accounts for just 37% of the crop.

Aromas of wood and fresh fruit translate to the palate giving this wine depth and concentration. It is powerful but also balanced and fresh displaying the elegance of the vintage. While never overpowering the wine's structure will allow it to age well. Drink from 2024. ROGER VOSS

Seamless from start to finish with a thoroughly caressing mouthfeel to the mix of damson plum black cherry and black currant fruit inlaid with a range of lilac lavender and rooibos tea accents. The finish unfurls slowly revealing a mouthwatering mineral edge buried deeply in the seductive fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2038. 10833 cases made. ? JM

The 2017 Margaux matured in 100% new oak was blended in the second half of February. It has a very pure floral bouquet with scents of iris and violet infusing the black and subtle blue fruit. There are touches of crushed stone and with aeration a little candied orange peel. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin very harmonious in the mouth caressing and sensual with black fruit hints of graphite and a light marine influence. There is a fine build to this Château Margaux commencing almost understated but finishing with an insistent grip and a long quite spicy aftertaste. It's not the bewitching 2015 however it purrs like a Rolls Royce and will age with panache. -Neal Martin
