シャトー マルゴー 1996 Chateau Margaux フランス ボルドー 赤ワイン

90年代の左岸の頂点になり得る秀逸なマルゴー

ミネラルを含んだ黒い果実、ブルーベリー、砕いた石、スミレの香り。味わいは完璧なバランスで、繊細なタンニンと完璧な酸があり、全てが適切な位置にあるようなワインです。ブラックベリーや砕いた石が口の中に広がり、スパイスのニュアンスが余韻に向けて感じられます。

The 1996 Chateau Margaux, a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, must be a strong contender for wine of the vintage. It offers everything you desire from this First Growth. It is blessed with breathtaking delineation and freshness on the nose, understated at first and then blossoming with mineral-infused black fruit, hints of blueberry, crushed stone and violet. The palate is perfectly balanced with filigree tannin, perfect acidity, a wine where everything seems to be in its right place. Blackberry, crushed stone at the front of the mouth, just a touch of spice towards the finish that shows supreme control. This is a Margaux that seems to light up the senses. It was outstanding in its youth...something that has not changed one bit over the intervening two decades. This may well turn out to be the Left Bank pinnacle of the 1990s. Tasted July 2016.
