Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Margaux 1er Cru 2016

100
/100

Chateau Margaux består af fantastiske 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc og 1% Petit Verdot. Høsten fandt sted fra slutningen af september til den 20. oktober. Kun 23% af hele høsten blev brugt til den første vin. Vinene blev fuldstændig afstilket og derefter kørt over manuelle sorteringsborde og vibrationsborde for at sortere dem. Spontan gæring i store træfade, lagring 100% i nye barriques. Næsen er fin, frisk og intens, en californisk Cabernet fra store højder, fordi modenheden er så utrolig smuk. Men ikke noget fedt. Jeg taler ikke om de almindelige, overfede californiere, men om de virkelig stilfulde vine fra Ridge, Togni og Kongsgaard. Og sådan dufter Chateau Margaux 2016, så utroligt fint. Surkirsebær, røde kirsebær, mere rød frugt end sort frugt. Frisk blomme, hvid peber, let lakrids, alt flyder. Et let strejf af gul frugt. Munden er utrolig intens. Men en lækker, delikat intensitet. Den er så fin. Igen overvejende rød frugt. Søde røde kirsebær, surkirsebær, slåen, let lakrids, plus eukalyptus og mynte. Salt mineralitet og længde, så langvarig. Ultra smarte tanniner, super poleret og alligevel har vinen en høj intensitet, der rører ved alle sanser. Øjnene og munden trækker sig sammen. Friskheden er så strålende. Og det med den iboende harmoniske, men alligevel intenst frugtagtige, mineralske Cabernet er en perfekt form for Cabernet Sauvignon. Den mister al fylde, al rundhed og er stadig sød og tæt. En utrolig fornøjelse, der først slutter efter et par minutter. Vinen vil blive gammel i mange, mange årtier, og den vil fortsætte med at vokse i sin lækre nydelse. En stor Chateau Margaux af hidtil uset, sublim skønhed. Og helt anderledes. Min vin i årgangen, selv før Ausone og Mouton. 100+/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

Ripe ruby red, with vivid starry reflections, crushed red rose petals on the opening. Easy to sink into the cured leather, white truffle, raspberry puree and redcurrant fruits, all held in place by still taut tannic architecture. This has still-evolving depths and character, with layered complexity. Delicious, a wine that retains its reserve at ten years old and will reward further cellaring. 100% new oak. Paul Pontallier's last vintage, although Sebastien Vergne oversaw harvest, with Philippe Bascaules returning from Napa to take over the director's role.

Suckling om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

Aromas of graphite, earth and black currants. It is really elegant, nuanced and delicate, with precise, subtle fruit and an almost ethereal palate. The tannins are tender, yet with enough focus and precision to be cohesive and fully integrated. Elegance at its best. Drinkable now, but it will evolve toward an even more delicate and beautiful expression with time. Drink or hold. 10 Years On retrospective.

The Wine Independent om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Chateau Margaux is deep garnet-purple in color. It is a real struggle to shake loose the aromas, this is so shut down at the moment. Eventually, notes of crème de cassis, blackberry pie, and blueberry compote begin to emerge, followed by licorice, dark chocolate, cumin seed, truffles, and iron ore suggestions. Full-bodied and full-on rich and seductive, the palate is absolutely crammed with bright, crunchy black fruit layers, framed by astonishingly ripe, finely grained tannins and amazing tension, finishing with a firework display of minerals, flowers, and exotic spices. Sell your car and get a few cases of this - you won't regret it!

Galloni om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

A gorgeous, captivating bouquet gives the 2016 Margaux an irresistible allure. Weightless and yet wonderfully persistent, in the way only the château's wines can be, the 2016 Grand Vin is a wine of exceptional breeding and pedigree. So many wines in this vintage are obvious, but Margaux is a wine that takes time to discover, like a great book or piece of music. Shades of tobacco, cedar, mint, licorice and bright, red-toned fruit reveal themselves over time. And yet it is a sense of total harmony and seductiveness that elevates Margaux into the stratosphere in 2016. 99/100

Parker om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Château Margaux (blended of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot) sashays out of the glass with glamorous red currants, candied violets, kirsch and crushed blackcurrants scents followed by notions of tilled black soil, forest floor, cast iron pan and cigar box with subtle wafts of lavender and oolong tea. Medium-bodied, mineral laced accents hover over the palate with an ethereal sensation of weightlessness, yet it is super intense with layers of red and black flavors supported by a firm texture of silt-fine tannins, finishing wonderfully fragrant and incredibly long. 99/100
