Blackberry and graphite with dark fruit and violets on the nose. Very complex. Full-bodied with lovely fine tannins that are lightly chewy. Extremely long and polished. Really refined. Integrated tannins. Wonderful length.

As to the reds the 2020 Château Margaux Pavillon Rouge is classic Château Margaux with its finesse elegance and purity. A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon 18% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot aged in 50% new French oak it has a great perfume of cassis and darker cherries as well as notes of dried flowers sandalwood and graphite. Beautifully balanced layered and concentrated it's a gem of a second wine with plenty of Grand Vin character. It will benefit from just a few years of bottle age and keep for two decades.

The 2020 Pavillon Rouge is just as gorgeous from bottle as it was from barrel. Rich and sumptuous with no hard edges the Pavillon Rouge captures the combination of fruit richness and energy that is such a signature of the year. Bright red-toned fruit blood orange cinnamon and mint are all beautifully delineated. Lively acids sweet floral and vibrant saline notes extend the effortless finish. The 2020 is a gorgeous Pavillon Rouge. - By Antonio Galloni on December 2022

Liquorice and aniseed tinged blackcurrants on the nose very medicinal deep heady perfumed too but softly scented more savoury and spiced. Smooth and supple fully tannic - they coat the mouth but seamlessly still leaving the vibrant lively forward and upfront fruit to shine. So much energy crisp and crunchy dark fruit - blackcurrant black cherry raspberry and plum. A sense of heat enters on the finish with liquorice and clove coming through reminding you this is a serious wine with plenty of ageing potential. Excellent length and sense of classicism - a totally moreish Pavillon. 2% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. (Drink between 2025-2040)

The 2020 Pavillon Rouge is excellent offering up aromas of raspberries and dark berries mingled with hints of cedar and rose petals followed by a medium to full-bodied vibrant palate with excellent depth and tension concluding with a long chalky finish. It's more tightly wound than the exceedingly demonstrative 2019 though in the fullness of time it wouldn't surprise me if it ended up being just as good.
