Flowers underneath it all. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins with beautiful ripeness that highlights the palate. Second wine of Château Margaux. Try after 2024.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWE94\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith its dense texture and high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, this is an impressively powerful second wine of Château Margaux. Acidity and dark blueberry flavors are concentrated, with layers of tannins that demand aging. Drink from 2023.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJD93\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJeb Dunnuck\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe second wine of Château Margaux is the 2016 Pavillon Rouge, a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot brought up in 60% new barrels. It too is incredibly classic, elegant, and finesse-driven, with textbook Margaux aromatics of cassis, ripe cherries, and spring flower, medium body, subtle background oak, and lively acidity. It has real class and is capable of 2-3 decades of longevity.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWS93\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVery refined and focused, with fine-grained sandalwood and alder accents lining a core of stylish, gently mulled cherry and blackberry fruit flavors. A perfumed lilac note weaves around the fruit on the elegant finish. Approachable now, but buried minerality lurks, and this is sneaky long, so cellaring is easily doable. Best from 2022 through 2035.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD92\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDecanter\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis has softened and deepened over the 18 months of ageing yet still has a touch of austerity and will take a few years to settle down. It's not as plump or generous as the 2015, but it's a beautiful wine that has balance and effortless class - a wonderfully poised Pavillon Rouge. 60% new oak has lent it some toasted almond and tarry notes. It represents just 26% of the harvest, making this the smallest ever percentage of the crop to make it into the second wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Margaux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975632687328,"sku":"102367","price":349.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chateau-margaux-pavillon-rouge-du-chateau-margaux_1_ec73421d-a199-41b1-b2fe-91e4c2f77801.jpg?v=1663888221","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-margaux-pavillon-rouge-du-chateau-margaux-2016-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
