Château Margaux 1995

Caramel, sweet strawberries and a hint of herbaceous Cabernet tones on the nose. Smooth, sensual and light almost – a delicacy to the frame but still with trademark detail so you get nuance and concentration but not so much overt power. This retains a supple character though with an enjoyable succulence of cherry and blackberry fruit. Supremely charming, refined and pure and still with a determination to the flavours – driving and focussed. Pure class and a joy to drink. 3% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. Drinking window: 2022-2040. Part of Decanter New York Fine Wine Encounter: Château Margaux masterclass. Score – 99. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com, June 17, 2022)
