The 2005 is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot and it is a gorgeously pure, intense, deep purple/ruby-tinged effort offering exquisite, surprisingly nuanced and complex aromatics for such a young Chateau Margaux. The mouthfeel is one of opulence, silk, purity, full-bodied concentration, terrific intensity, unbelievable freshness and vibrancy and sweet tannin. The tannin levels are the highest ever measured at this estate but the alcohol is only around 13%, not particularly high by this vintages standards. It is a candidate for 50+ years of evolution. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2060+.
