Margaux 2018
DOZEN: $18,306.00 or $1,525.50 each
Six bottles available at time of offer
The conditions of southern Médoc meant more flesh and mid-palate than in 2016 & 2017, with the price still below the famed last vintage Paul Pontallier (2016) and close to the brilliant 2015. 2018 is also brilliant. A wine that always ushers an ability to combine density and power while putting finesse and elegance first - obvious class, it's long longevity is assured -Tom Portet

Wow. This takes off on the palate the moment you taste it. Aromas and flavors of redcurrants, flowers, cherries and hints of hazelnuts. Full-bodied, tight and compact, but the linear tannins, running down the center of the wine, draw the wine through the finish. Superb.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown 97-100
Deep purple-black in color, it comes prancing out of the glass with energetic Morello cherries, black raspberries and blackberry pie scents plus nuances of fragrant soil, candied violets, lavender, sandalwood, unsmoked cigars and black olives with a gentle wave of cassis and licorice emerging with coaxing. Full-bodied, the palate is charged with the most amazing energy, delivering layer after layer of red and black fruits with tons of earthy nuances, framed by the most exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins, finishing with amazing freshness and an extraordinarily long-lingering perfume. Magnificent.
Antonio Galloni 95-98
A regal, soaring wine, the 2018 is absolutely phenomenal. Château Margaux's 2018 Grand Vin boasts off the charts textural richness and intensity from the very first taste. A huge core of dark fruit, potent, muscular tannins are two of the signatures. Dense and explosive in the glass, with breathtaking concentration, the 2018 is one of the finest Margauxs in recent memory. Lavender, rose petal and spice add striking perfume in this compelling, memorable Grand Vin. In 2018, the Grand Vin represents 36% of the crop and is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.
