Château Margaux Chateau Margaux 2008 sku_2429435-1 crisp and minerally with appleThe 2008 is a very fine Chteau Margaux; it displays a nose of great finesse and purity; and it is as deep and charming as the 2004. What really amazes us is its power on the palate: we never expected such density; length and richness. The tannins are superb! They give the Chteau Margaux 2008 a very tight grained texture; wonderful length; and a more classic personality than previously thought. (May 2010)
