Tasting notes
Not nearly as concentrated, although elegant, in a much lighter style than the 2003, with notes of cedar, herbs, red and black currants as well as licorice, this is a medium-bodied, more streamlined and austere Pavillon Rouge to drink over the next decade.

Deep crimson. Very fragrant. Very flattering. Quite elevated acidity but more charming than most Médocs. Refreshing drinking relatively early. Quite ripe flavours. Tannins not especially marked. Clean, dry finish. Great purity. (JR)
A good wine with toasted oak and berries that follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with firm tannins and a medium finish. Second wine of Margaux. Best after 2008. 15,830 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2005
