James Suckling: 100 Points
"This was phenomenal from barrel and remains so. The aromas are spellbinding. It smells like a bouquet of pink roses and then goes to currants berries and citrus. Full body with wonderfully refined tannins. It starts discretely and then grows to different levels and dimensions like a slow but big high

Liquid velvet with stunning length and a caressing mouthfeel as layers of creamed plum blackberry coulis and steeped black currant fruit glides along seamlessly intertwined with black tea mulled blood orange incense and lilac. Hints of mesquite and alder hang subtly in the background and the structure evident and massive has melded wonderfully.?Non-blind Château Margaux vertical (December 2013). Best from 2018 through 2040. 10833 cases made. ? JM

Deep garnet in color the 2010 Château Margaux features notions of minted blackcurrants new leather and Black Forest cake with nuances of sautéed herbs tar underbrush and wild fungi plus a waft of cedar. Full-bodied the palate has a rock-solid structure of firm grainy tannins and bold freshness supporting the taut muscular fruit finishing long and earthy.

The 2010 Château Margaux performed far better at this horizontal than at Farr's blind tasting a few days later. It has a beguiling bouquet highly perfumed with crushed violets infusing the blackberry and crushed strawberry scented hints of pencil box and cedar emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. There is a wonderful sense of symmetry here with a silky elegant finish that is amazingly persistent. It is one of the best wines that Paul Pontallier ever made. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting. (Drink between 2025-2060)
