Chateau Margaux, Margaux, France 2006 Niigata Dense and grippy red wine

Dense and grippy red wine from Gaglioppo grape

this is a gutsy

Notes of blackberries and boysenberries wrapped in rose petals

It is brown amber in color with aromas of orange peel and English toffee

pineapple and apricot flavors backed by a flash of maple on the finish

Chateau Margaux, Margaux, France 2006 Niigata Dense and grippy red wineThe 2006 Chteau Margaux remains a very youthful wine, unfurling in the decanter and glass with a deep bouquet of blackcurrants, cigar wrapper, black truffles, loamy soil and nicely integrated new oak. Medium to full bodied, deep and concentrated, with a rich and vibrant core of fruit, lively acids and refined but authoritative tannins, it's a rather powerful, elegantly muscular Margaux that's still a decade from maturity. 95 Pts Robert Parker's Wine
