The supple-textured 2004 Chateau Margaux is reminiscent of the 2001 or 1999. It exhibits a superb blue/purple color to the rim as well as sweet aromas of flowers, blueberries, creme de cassis, licorice, and smoke, superb fruit intensity, medium body, classic elegance, and silky, sweet tannin in the long finish. This beauty can be drunk now or cellared for two decades or more. - WA, RP (6/2007)

Ruby-red. Boysenberry, dark chocolate and violet on the nose; more restrained than the Pavillon Rouge. Silky, suave and lacy, with perfectly integrated acidity. Moderately dense but not at all weighty. Broadens and expands impressively on the back end, subtly saturating the entire palate and leaving the mouth feeling fresh. I suspect this wine will benefit significantly from its elevage ST
