Bursting with aromas of blackberries, currants, lilac blossom and creamy new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a succulent core of fruit, soft tannins and a mouthwatering finish. It was evidently shut down after bottling when I last tasted it, as this is now a giving, fruit-driven, modern-styled Margaux that will appeal to readers seeking upfront appeal in the near future.
It is a highly acclaimed, elegant Grand Cru Classé from Margaux, offering a refined, medium-to-full-bodied profile. It features intense aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, and graphite, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long,, polished finish, making it a standout, complex vintage that promises excellent, long-term aging.
This wine is the shining pearl of Chateau Kirwan, a prestigious Bordeaux chateau with Irish lineage. The estate's history dates back to 1710 and to date, takes a rigorously traditional approach to winemaking. Being the first wine of a third growth Margaux chateau carries the weight of high expectation and this immaculately barrel aged red wine delivers without a doubt.
The estate's renaissance in the late 20th century thanks to Bordeaux winemaking wizard Michel Rolland shines through in the rich character and structure of the Cabernet blend. The wine's depth of flavour owes as much to the consistency of viticulture and vinification as it does to the frugal limestone and gravel soils that challenge and nurture the grapes towards pure brilliance.
