Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Margaux 1er Cru 2019

100+
/100

37 procent af den samlede høst er Grand Vin. Vinen har 13,95 volumenprocent alkohol og består af 90 procent Cabernet Sauvignon, syv procent Merlot, to procent Cabernet Franc og en procent Petit Verdot. Selv om denne vin er næsten ren Cabernet, er næsen ret sort-frugtagtig. Meget intens. Brombær, cassis og sorte kirsebær. Tæt og moden, men ikke sød. Meget ligetil, meget fokuseret, rent defineret. Top, bund, venstre, højre - alt er klart. Meget elegant. Munden er ekstremt klassisk. Moden Cabernet, men arketypisk. Igen dette enorme fokus, dette krystallinske og rene. Præcis karakterisering. Cassis, ribs, paprika, chilivarme. Helt anderledes end den tidligere smagte Château Palmer, for her er vi superklassiske på Cabernet. Moden, men præcis. Præcis hvor vinen skal være. En typisk, stor Château Margaux og bestemt en udfordrer til positionen som årgangens bedste vin. 100+/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

Another utterly heavenly wine from this estate is the 2019 Château Margaux, a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot coming from a selection of just 37% of the total production. Deep purple, with an incredible array of ripe currants, blueberries, sweet tobacco, sandalwood, and toasted spices, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a seamless, powerful, yet incredibly sexy mouthfeel, polished tannins, and a great, great finish. As I wrote in the barrel review, it reminds me slightly of the 2016, but has a touch more sun-kissed profile. It already offers incredible pleasure yet deserves 4-6 years of bottle age and will blow you away any time over the coming 40+ years. 100/100

Parker om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

Is the 2019 Château Margaux the wine of the vintage? A strong case in its favor could certainly be made. Soaring from the glass with aromas of blackberries, raspberries, rose petals, violets, pencil shavings and vine smoke, it's full-bodied, layered and sensual, with a strikingly vibrant core of fruit that's framed by ripe, powdery tannins and bright acids, concluding with a penetrating, mouthwateringly saline finish of almost interminable duration. Complex, elegant and utterly compelling, this is a brilliant Bordeaux that anyone with the requisite disposable income is going to want to own. 100/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

A wine that you sink into, drink in the aromatics before taking a sip. You can sense the velvety texture from the first moment. There is so much density here, and yet each tannin plays its part with skill, holding the perfumed black and blue fruits in place without restricting their expression. A signature Château Margaux, with so many different elements lending momentum and energy, and a feeling of effortless balance. 37% of total production, 100% new oak. Loved En Primeur, but this is an upscore. 100/100

Suckling om: Chateau Margaux 1er Cru

Amazing aromas of crushed stones and wet soil with fresh mushrooms, then going on to violets and other flowers. Dark fruit, too. Full-bodied, yet agile and fine, with a linear flow of tannins that run through the center of palate. The finesse of the tannins is exceptional, like raw silk and changing all the time. Cool and energetic, yet reserved. Zen-like. 37% of the production and 90% cabernet sauvignon, 7% merlot, 2% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. So well balanced that you can drink it now, but this is one to leave for a decade and more. Ethereal. 100/100
