Graceful nuanced totally moriesh. Hugely successful at the 10 year mark this is rippled with raspberry white pepper smoked earth blond tobacco cold ash blueberry and star anise. One of my stars of the lineup mouthwatering and full of cheer with waves of fine tannins that are guiding the fruit from beginning to end. Above all finessed but not afraid of pleasure a balanced Château Margaux that has plenty of time ahead of it. 34% of overall production.

Tasted blind at the 2012 Southwold tasting the 2012 Château Margaux has a taut linear pencil lead-infused bouquet with pure blackberry and boysenberry scents an undercurrent of tobacco that surfaces after five minutes in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin crisp acidity a life-affirming sense of balance with well-integrated new oak towards the finish. I concur with Robert Parker that his has become more structured and masculine in bottle yet there is pedigree here from start to finish a sense of effortlessness that is seductive. This is a top-class wine from the late Paul Pontallier and his team. Tasted January 2016. Published: Oct 28 2016

The 2012 Château Margaux is a wine that based on this showing is a little closed at the moment and needs the most coaxing from the glass. Plenty of black fruit in situ although it does not really blossom. It is very well-balanced quite deep and powerful but it needs time to develop refinement on the finish. Cellar for another few years. Tasted blind in Bordeaux. - By Neal Martin on May 2021

Medium to deep garnet colored the 2012 Chateau Margaux opens with notes of new leather plum preserves and unsmoked cigars with hints of iron ore dried herbs and a medicinal waft. The medium-bodied palate has soft approachable tannins and a lively line cutting through the savory layers finishing minerally.
