Note di degustazione
At many properties the second wine suffered in 2012 but Ch Margaux’s Pavillon rouge shares much with the grand vin: it has an elegance that is testament to the quality of the terroir here. The nose is focussed with dark fruit and firm minerality that is the hallmark of Ch Margaux. A little lighter than in recent years but concentrated and flavourful on the palate. FINE+RARE

The 2012 Pavillon Rouge de Château Margaux has a pretty nose with well-defined, predominantly red fruit mixed with rose petals and scents of bergamot tea. Understated yet focused and delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Quite spicy with a generous dollop of black pepper mingling with tobacco notes towards the structured finish. This has held up well, though it is difficult to envisage further melioration in bottle. Tasted twice at Bordeaux Index's Ten Year-On tasting and blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting.
Attractive sweet and smoky character to the raspberry fruits. This is generous, with subtle caramel and smoked cedar, a delicious Pavillon that is approachable and open, ready to drink but absolutely no rush, it will stay at this level for at least another decade. 30% of overall production.
Tasted blind. Looks quite pale and mature. Sweet oak on the nose. Pretty sour on the finish without quite enough fruit in the middle. Light and tart. (JR)
