Chateau Margaux Pavillon Rouge 2005 (750 ml)

Cassis, spicy wood, graphite, and dried flowers all define the aromatics.

This second wine shows unmistakable Margaux character through its combination of cassis, graphite, dried flowers, and polished oak. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with a round, supple texture and elegant tannins that keep the wine composed. Layered and satisfying, it is fully mature and well suited for drinking over the coming decade.

Very beautiful aromas of crushed flowers—like roses—follow through to plum, berry and Indian spices.

The wine is floral and expressive, moving from crushed rose into ripe plum, berry, and warm spice. Its full-bodied palate remains refined and silky, with ripe fruit carried by a graceful, polished texture. Delicate raisin and floral notes linger on the finish, giving the mature wine both richness and finesse.

All about red fruits, this is a celebration of ripe Merlot and Cabernet.

Red berry fruit leads the profile, supported by lively acidity and a restrained touch of oak. A subtle bitter-chocolate note adds depth without obscuring the freshness of the Merlot and Cabernet blend. The finish returns to bright fruit and acidity, leaving the wine energetic and balanced.
