The nose is refined and layered, with notes of blackcurrant, dark cherry, violet, cedar, cigar box and subtle graphite, all framed by fresh oak and floral lift.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is poised and beautifully structured, combining silky tannins with bright acidity and polished fruit. The finish is long, complex and mineral-tinged, with the kind of balance and definition that allows it to age for many more years, and in a good cellar it should continue to evolve impressively over the next two decades or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Margaux is rooted in the gravelly soils of the Left Bank, where excellent drainage and the maritime influence of Bordeaux help produce wines of purity, structure and aromatic detail.
