Château Margaux - Margaux 2001

What can you say about perfection? This blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc is one of the most exquisite wines that I have ever tasted. It displays such beautiful aromatics of blackberry, purple flowers, cassis and cedar. It is one of the most impressively structured and balanced wines in existence. Layers of dark berry fruits are interwoven with earth; a light note of graphite and cedar on its medium to full body. The tannins are fine, but very smooth, and they glide over your palate like silk. The lasting finish makes this wine so memorable for palate and mind alike.
