Tasting Notes
The Château Margaux 2012 presents an exquisite balance between elegance and structure. It displays a deep ruby color with hints of purple, showcasing its youth and vitality. The nose is refined and complex, revealing aromas of ripe blackcurrants, violets, graphite, cedar, and delicate floral notes, intertwined with subtle hints of tobacco and spices.
On the palate, this wine is medium to full-bodied, offering silky tannins, fresh acidity, and remarkable finesse. Layers of dark berries, licorice, and earthy undertones unfold gracefully, leading to a long and persistent finish. The 2012 vintage is already approachable but has excellent aging potential, allowing it to develop even greater depth and complexity over the next two decades.
