1997 Château Margaux

1997 Château Margaux is a charming, deep ruby-coloured wine.

Château Margaux was one of four wines to achieve first-growth status in the Bordeaux Classification of 1985. The vineyards are located in the commune of Margaux on the left bank of the Garonne estuary in the Médoc region, and the grapes are a mixture of Cabernet Sauvignon (75%), Merlot (20%), Cabernet Franc (2%) and Petit Verdot (3%).

'Exhibits floral, black currant, and smoky, toasty oak aromas. There is admirable richness, excellent ripeness, not a great deal of density, or superb concentration, but plenty of finesse, suppleness, and character.' -Robert Parker
