Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #146(4/2003) Rating: 90 points Drink: 2003-2018
One of the finest examples I have tasted, the 2000 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux exhibits supple tannin along with big, sweet, luscious black currant flavors intermixed with hints of cedar, spice box, and vanilla. Plump and fleshy, with low acidity, it will offer delicious drinking now and over the next 10-15 years. Don't miss it. - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2003) Score: 94
Glorious aromas of freshly picked raspberries, with tiny hints of cream and minerals. Full-bodied, with superfine tannins and a long, long finish of berries and cherries. Super second wine from Margaux. Best Pavillon Rouge I have ever tasted. Best after 2010. 20,525 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating: 
Full intense colour, very fragrant nose, great purity and finesse despite very high tannins and a lot of concentration, much better than a `second wine', for there is no `hole in the middle', really complete and fine. Ready 2006-2020. |
