Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Chateau Margaux features notions of minted blackcurrants, new leather and Black Forest cake with nuances of sauteed herbs, tar, underbrush and wild fungi plus a waft of cedar. Full-bodied, the palate has a rock-solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness supporting the taut, muscular fruit, finishing long and earthy.
