2009 Release September 29, 2012 - BC Liquor Stores

Château Margaux, Margaux
“The 2009 Château Margaux is made from 87% Cabernet
Sauvignon and the rest primarily Merlot with small amounts of
Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Abundant blueberry, cassis and
acacia flower as well as hints of charcoal and forest floor aromas
that are almost Burgundian in their complexity are followed
by a wine displaying sweet, well-integrated tannins as well as
a certain ethereal lightness despite the wine’s overall size. Rich,
round, generous and unusually approachable for such a young
Margaux, this 2009 should drink well for 30-35+ years.”

Château Marquis de terme, Margaux
“A bright, ripe style, with very fresh crushed plum, raspberry and
blackberry fruit wrapped in silky tannins and laced with hints
of anise and black tea. The rounded finish has modest grip for
mid-term cellaring. Drink now through 2020.”

Château Meyney, St estèphe
“The finest wine made at this estate since 1982, this opaque black
wine is a sleeper of the vintage, with oodles of blackberry fruit
interwoven with hints of charcoal, forest floor, licorice and damp
earth. Deep, rich, chewy, full-bodied and opulent, this is a fabulous
Meyney that, because of its low acidity and very ripe tannin, can be
drunk in 3-4 years or cellared for two decades. Bravo!”
