The elegant 2007 Chateau Margaux’s purity, depth of fruit, and overall equilibrium are impressive. A dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by notes of spring flowers, black currants, and blackberries, a soft, lush, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and delicacy allied to impressive depth, texture, and length. Already drinkable, it should continue to offer exceptional pleasure for 15 or more years. Score: 92 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate Maturity: 2010-2025 |

Aromas of blackberry, black licorice and currant follow through to a medium-to-full body, with fine tannins and a long, sweet fruit finish. Balanced and perfumed. Very Burgundian and pretty. Score: 89 - 92 James Suckling, Wine Spectator |

Pretty purplish crimson. More obviously dry and ambitious than the Pavillon Rouge. Some real lift and intention here. Delicate and super charming - really aerien and wonderful dry minerally finish. Great lift and delicacy without being at all thin. All the ingredients came from the core of Ch Margaux terroir. Pontallier: ‘You couldn’t get any stricter. Pure pebbly soils facing the Gironde.’ Very pure indeed yet long. Real class and finesse. Very very delicate. Wonderfully typical of Margaux. ‘Mmm not Wow’, says Pontallier. He doesn’t expect 2007 to close like 05 will and 2001 already has done. Nice dry finish. The low key nature of 2007 seems to suit Ch Margaux.

Bright, dark red. Knockout nose combines redcurrant, blackberry, spices, flowers, tobacco and sexy sweet oak tones; complex and aristocratic. Then sweet, suave and seamless, with lovely inner-mouth perfume and noteworthy finesse to the flavors of blackberry, cherry and flowers. Finishes long and sweet, with noble tannins for the year. Not a big wine but one of the classiest examples of the vintage. Score: 93 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar |

Superb colour, nose of crushed red berry fruit, with all the depth but none of the hardness of Cabernet Sauvignon, very long, very pure fruit, a wine of great class that will open up young yet last well. Drink 2012-30. Score: 18 Decanter Maturity: 2012-2030 |

This will be bottled in June. This has opened up gloriously on the nose, so much so that if I had this blind I would swear it was a Cote de Nuits. Extremely floral, rose petals, small berried fruit, blueberry, touch of maraschino cherry. It is blessed with a sensuous palate, beautifully textured, sweet red cherry fruit, wild strawberry a hint of mocha, the structure only coming through on the finish. Lovely. Tasted April 2009.
