Château Margaux--Vintage 2002
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Tasting note: Two notes, at the château. Merlot crop seriously affected by poor summer. Highest-ever percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in blend (86. Ex cask April 2003: opaque, intense; whiff of raspberry though only 2 Cabernet Franc; silkily dry, crisp young fruit; discrete oak, long dry finish. A year later, also in cask: plummy purple, attractive fruit and spicy new oak; very flavoury and relatively easy. Last tasted March 2004 (****) 2010-2020 M.B.
