Chateau Margaux Pavillion Rouge 2001

Wine number 6, and the 2nd wine of Chateau Margaux. On the bouquet were evolving notes of black cherries, cassis, tar, cola, toffee, currants, oak and some licorice. On the palate it was superbly supple and smooth, almost feminine. Underneath it hinted at a good structure. Finished very smooth and balanced. Overall a truly elegant, if somewhat restrained wine. Quite excellent I thought.
50+4+14+18+7 = 93/100
