Château Margaux vintage 2006
Margaux, 1er Cru Classé

94+/100 points Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #182 April 2009

Lying in a temperature-controlled cellar duty & tax free in Hong-Kong
6 bottles in good condition

Tasting Note: "It is worth noting that when the bottled 2006 Château Margaux, which appeared closed and less impressive than I had predicted from barrel, was retasted alongside the remarkable 2008, I elevated my score to 94+. It does not possess the size or power of the 2008 or 2005, but the 2006 exhibits impressive density, a deeper color, and the beautifully textured, pure style that is a hallmark of this estate. Moreover, it is relatively precocious, and can be drunk now or cellared for 25+ years."
