Infos produit

This vintage was marked by very favorable ripening and harvesting conditions in September and October despite a difficult start to the year. This "Indian summer" remains in everyone's memory.
Like the great wine, Pavillon Rouge 1985 from Château Margaux is superb. This second wine is elegant, balanced, fleshy, complex. It is a very delicate wine, no need to wait any longer to taste it.

Avis d'expert

93 / 100

Wine Spectator

(04-1988) Rich and massive but elegant too. It's loaded with berry, cassis and mint f lavors and a wallop of tannin and oak. But it's pretty and refined, and thi s is just Margaux's second label. Give this one some cellar time.
