A serious tone to the nose with inviting meaty smoked black pepper and perfumed aromas. Succulent and supple on the palate generous and full in the mouth yet also quite streamlined and linear. Lots of flavour but directed in one straight line at the moment with concentration and tension. This is extremely well structured with a pristine focus yet also a liveliness that makes it so enjoyable to taste. One that is giving pleasure now but will continue to age gracefully.
vThe 2010 Pavillon Rouge has a delightful elegant bouquet with wild strawberry blackberry and cedar aromas very well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins veins of blue fruit emerging with time in the glass and with just a touch of salted liquorice towards the finish. This could be à point. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting.
Deep garnet in color the 2010 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux offers up scents of blackcurrant cordial wild thyme and fertile loam with hints of cedar chest pencil lead and tar. Medium-bodied the palate is just a tad lean with chewy tannins and bold freshness finishing on an herbal note.
