Château Margaux, 1er Cru Classé, Margaux, 2002
The 86% Cabernet Sauvignon in the 2002 assemblage would make this a definitive Margaux under any circumstances. The quality of 2002 Cabernets was such that a wine of purity, elegance and finesse, freshness yet with quintessential blackcurrant fruit has been the result. Floral aromas, intense flavours, long, fine finish.
critic reviews
Bright, deep red. Classic aromas of boysenberry, black cherry, minerals and lead pencil. Then juicy and penetrating, with cabernet-dominated berry and mineral flavors (there's a very low 8% merlot in the blend). Finishes with very firm, youthfully tough tannins that will require a good decade of patience. Quite tight today and difficult to assess. We had a gorgeous September, but it came too late for the merlot, said Pontallier.
Performing better from bottle than at any time in cask (which of course is the objective of great winemaking, isnt it?), this wine reveals a dense ruby/purple color in a style somewhat reminiscent of the 1988 but with more power, concentration, and volume. It has a beautifully elegant nose of black fruits intermixed with truffle, flower, and oak. The wine is medium to full-bodied, dense, with wonderful precision, freshness, and a long, full-bodied finish with impressive levels of concentration. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030.
