Chateau Margaux 2005
Introduction
Château Margaux 2005 is a legendary red wine from France, produced in the Margaux appellation of the Médoc region in Bordeaux. This historic estate is one of only five wines to achieve First Growth (Premier Cru) status in the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux. Since 1977, the château has been owned by the Mentzelopoulos family, whose significant investments in the vineyards and cellars restored the property to the pinnacle of quality and prestige.
Description
The 2005 vintage is considered a modern masterpiece, characterized by extraordinary concentration and a classic structure.
Colour: It possesses a deep, opaque purple hue that remains vibrant despite its age.
Aroma: The nose is complex and hauntingly fragrant, featuring a signature bouquet of violets, spring flowers, and crushed blackcurrants interwoven with notes of liquorice, graphite, and toasted oak.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is rich and multifaceted, offering intense flavours of black fruits, red berries, and forest floor, complemented by subtle nuances of truffle and cedar.
Body: It is full bodied yet remarkably graceful, supported by a massive spine of fine, silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides perfect balance.
Finish: The finish is exceptionally long, pure, and majestic, lingering for over a minute with echoing notes of fruit and spice.
ABV: This wine is bottled at 13% alcohol by volume.
