Tasting notes
A totally different wine to the 2009; this is a much more classic style. Cool and pure, precise and long. Whilst the 2009 might be the more seductive of the two wines, the lift of the 2004 and its sheer class put the two neck and neck today. “Real” wine. And very lovely.

Pretty blackberry and cherry aromas follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a fruity, clean finish. The second wine of Margaux. Best after 2010. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2007
Margaux’s second wine, the 2004 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux, may turn out to be outstanding. Its deep ruby/purple hue is accompanied by fleshy notes of black currants, cherries, smoke, earth, and spring flowers. Lovely, ripe, and opulent, it is best consumed during its first 10-15 years of life. Jun 2007, www.robertparker.com
