Chateau Margaux 1er Cru 2009

87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. Direktøren er overbevist om, at der aldrig har været et så højt kvalitetsniveau i Cabernet og Petit Verdot, i hvert fald ikke i hans tid. Høj pH-værdi på 3,8 og alkohol på 13,8 %. Sort. Ekstremt aromatisk, kraftfuldt æterisk, rødfrugtet næse. Fuld af solbær. Derefter sorte kirsebær, crème brulée, fint træ, minder på en eller anden måde om en stor Brunello Riserva med en god andel Richebourg Grand Cru, fantastisk! Duften er nok! Frisk blomme og cassis så i munden, chokolade varm og flydende, men ultrafin og underbygget med en fin solbærsyre, delikate sorte kirsebær, et strejf af surkirsebær og lidt eksotisk appelsinskal, brombær i en delikat antydning, alt danser og forbliver let, vinen tager af sted med kenderen, den er så afslappet og uoplagt let, men kommer tilbage ultralangt, simpelthen delikat i perfektion. Power-drikkere og blockbuster-fans vil blive slemt skuffede. I munden er der superpoleret silkeblødhed i tanninen. En fornøjelse lige nu, utroligt! Ren harmoni. Danner en fantastisk finesse-trekant med Lafite og Las Cases! Eller som Mitjaville fra Tertre Roteboeuf sagde: "Alt perfekt, så en kedelig vin!" 100/100

Suckling om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

The nose is out of this world, with lilacs, currants, blackberries, and blueberries. Full-bodied, with super silky tannins and savory fruit and amazing flavors of fine leather, blueberries, and sandalwood. The quality of the tannins are amazing, with creamy texture and bright acidity on the end. Such classic and classicism. Delicacy. Lasts for minutes on the palate. This is 13.2% alcohol. Best Margaux in bottle yet…will 2010 be as great? 100/100

Decanter om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

If you want to drink a Margaux 2009 any time soon, you need to go for the Pavillon - the grand vin is still extremely young, holding back its power and impact for another five or 10 years time. It's still closed up enough to hint rather than reveal. The smooth, silky tannins are joined by blackberry and cassis fruit with a great sense of vibrancy and concentration, and some tingling minerality with a pulse of electricity. There's a latent generosity here, a slow confidence that builds through the palate as the flavours layer up, yet it's clear that there's still lots to be revealed, particularly the hints of violet and peony florality that just peek through on the finish. This is very, very good - up with the best ever from this estate. 31% of production went into this wine, and it has the same amount of Cabernet Sauvignon as in 2005. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 100/100

Parker om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

Thirty-five percent of the crop went into the 2009 Chateau Margaux, composed of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The alcohol level of 13.3% is high, but not excessively so. A wine such as this is like the quintessence of terroir. A super, uber-concentrated perfume of creme de cassis and flowers cascades across the palate with a lightness of being despite massive concentration, a sumptuous personality, and an unctuous texture. I have never tasted a Chateau Margaux quite like this. It should be relatively drinkable at an early age, yet will last for 50-100 years. Oh my! (Tasted once.) Paul Pontallier told me they had never had such levels of concentration and tannin as they did in 2009, exceeding anything they ever produced since the Mentzelopoulos family purchased this property in 1978. Pontallier believes 1996 is the closest stylistically, but 2009 is significantly more concentrated than that vintage. I do not disagree because tasting the second wine, Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux, demonstrates that the 2009 is far superior to almost every Chateau Margaux made in the fifties, sixties, and seventies, except for the 1961 and 1953. 98-100/100
