Firm tannins and beautifully perfumed fruit are blending together to give a wine that has style as well as structured fruitiness, with all the elegance of great Margaux. Think long-term aging for this wine.\u003cbr\u003eBarrel Sample: 95-97\u003cbr\u003e94James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlackcurrants with bark, cedar and dried flowers coming through in the nose. Full-bodied with integrated tannins and a long, linear finish. Racy and refined. Sophisticated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e94Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSporting a deep garnet-purple color, the 2019 Kirwan comes prancing out of the glass with beguiling scents of rose petals, Morello cherries, boysenberries and warm cassis plus nuances of pencil shavings, wild sage and lavender. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegantly textured with invigorating red berry and floral-laced flavors lifting the black fruits, finishing on a lingering ferrous note. Impressively crafted!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRange: (92-94)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e93Decanter\u003cbr\u003eCareful extraction of the sappy, and enjoyably structured, blackcurrant and blackberry fruits. This is a quality Kirwan that, as with last year, is a fairly serious take on the vintage within the appellation. An earthy, smoked cedar note comes out as the structure relaxes, and there is a lot to enjoy in this wine, which is certain to power through the decades. Blend completed with 6% Petit Verdot and for the first time 1% Carmanère.\u003cbr\u003eBarrel Sample: 93\u003cbr\u003e92Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedcurrants, Bing cherry, graphite, licorice, violet, and flowery incense notes all define the bouquet of the 2019 Chateau Kirwan, a medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated Margaux that has a pretty, elegant, juicy style. It doesn't have the density of the top wines in the appellation, yet it's certainly nicely balanced, has supple tannins, and nicely integrated acidity, all making for a beautifully polished, elegant 2019 to drink over the coming 20 years or so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e92Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLets very dark plum sauce, cassis and boysenberry preserve flavors unfurl over silky tannins, with black tea and a light sanguine hint infusing the finish. What you see is what you get—and it's delicious. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenère.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Kirwan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975627772128,"sku":"102243","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/ch-teau-kirwan-margaux_cd46b87a-6c9c-44c9-8e0e-09858f0b0b49.jpg?v=1663884136","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-kirwan-margaux-2018-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
