Bordeaux Total René Gabriel:

87 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 % Merlot, 2 % Cabernet Franc, 1 % Petit Verdot. 36 % der Ernte ergab Grand Vin. Paul Pontalier: "Die Lots waren extrem unterschiedlich. Es gab grossartige Cuvees, aber wir mussten mehr als 30 % als Drittwein oder gar als lose Ware deklassieren". Parfümierte Nase, Preiselbeeren, Maulbeeren, aber auch Spuren von roten Johannisbeeren, die Frucht überwiegt aber generell, dann kommen helle Edelhölzer, dominikanischer Tabak zum Vorschein und man hat das Gefühl, dass dieser Margaux mit Luftzutritt immer tiefer wird. Im Gaumen hochfein, seidige Tannine, das Ganze wirkt tänzerisch und die Cabernet's scheinen den Wein viel weniger zu markieren als bei den letzten Jarhgängen. Also ein ganz feiner, delikatessenhafter Château Margaux. Vielleicht fast etwas im verbesserten Stil vom 1999er. Und das war schon ein grosse Château Margaux! Trinkreife 2020-2048. Bewertung 19/20. -René Gabriel-

Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

Tasted blind at the 2012 Southwold tasting, the 2012 Château Margaux has a taut, linear, pencil lead-infused bouquet with pure blackberry and boysenberry scents, an undercurrent of tobacco that surfaces after five minutes in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity, a life-affirming sense of balance with well-integrated new oak towards the finish. I concur with Robert Parker that his has become more structured and masculine in bottle, yet there is pedigree here from start to finish, a sense of effortlessness that is seductive. This is a top-class wine from the late Paul Pontallier and his team. Tasted January 2016. Drink Date 2022-2050. Rating 96/100. -Neal Martin-

Vinous:

The 2012 Margaux is beautifully polished and suave in the glass, with pliant fruit and plenty of finesse, all in a classic, mid-weight Margaux style. Inward and tightly wound, the 2012 is clearly holding back much of its potential. The 2012 has a stony, mineral-infused energy that is going to require at least a few more years in bottle to fully unwind, while the 100% new oak is a bit pronounced at this early stage. Grilled herbs, smoke, graphite and sage add further nuances on the savory, delineated finish. Drink Date 2022-2042. Rating 94+/100. -Antonio Galloni-

James Suckling:

Wonderful aromas of flowers such as roses, violets, strawberries and a hints of wet earth. Wet stones as well. Full to medium body, very firm tannins and a long, racy finish. Minerals and chalk on the aftertaste. Needs three to five years to soften. Rating 94/100. -JamesSuckling.com-

Jancis Robinson:

Tasted blind. Real interest on the nose. Very charming and beautifully balanced. Great poise. More forward than some though. Massive fruit hides the pretty massive tannins. Drink Date 2024-2044. Rating 18.5/20. -Jancis Robinson-
