Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Performing better from bottle than at any time in cask (which of course is the objective of great winemaking, isn’t 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..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The elegant 2007 Chateau Margaux’s purity, depth of fruit, and overall equilibrium are impressive.
