Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Chateau Margaux was just missing a little intensity on the nose compared to the other First Growths: scents of incense and iris, blackberry and tobacco, perhaps just missing the floral nature of other vintages. The palate is well balanced with supple black fruit laced with graphite and tobacco, fully matured but clearly with sufficient substance to last another 15-20 years. It is a capable Chateau Margaux, although frankly it does not put enough distance between itself and its Margaux peers, yapping at its heels. Tasted February 2017.

Mid ruby. Pungent and sweet . Quite evolved and rich. Less precise than some but still a definite cut above the norm. Dry finish. Needs time.

Intense colour. Deep, pure bouquet of blackcurrants, cherries some fine, slightly minty oak, all underpinned by lovely minerality. A touch tight in the mouth but fine with silky tannins, remarkable balance, lovely length. Delicious fruit purity.
