Tasted at Bordeaux Index annual 10-year on tasting from an ex-château bottle. The Pavillon Rouge de Margaux 2004 is a little muted on the nose but opens nicely with red berries, cedar, black pepper and freshly rolled tobacco. On the second sample at Bordeaux Index there is an extra dimension of crushed violets and lavender. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and clean and fresh black fruit. It feels quite toasty in the mouth and one bottle felt too austere at Farr Vintners, the sample at Bordeaux Index imbued with more grace and freshness. Tasted March 2014.

Margaux’s second wine, the 2004 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux, may turn out to be outstanding. Its deep ruby/purple hue is accompanied by fleshy notes of black currants, cherries, smoke, earth, and spring flowers. Lovely, ripe, and opulent, it is best consumed during its first 10-15 years of life.

Pretty blackberry and cherry aromas follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a fruity, clean finish. The second wine of Margaux. Best after 2010.

An impressive effort, the opaque ruby/purple-tinged 2004 Pavillon Rouge exhibits aromas of flowers, black currants, cherries, smoke, and earth. With good freshness, medium body, abundant fruit, and sweet tannin, it should drink well for 12-15 years.

Fin, élancé, frais, long et intense, sans évidemment la profondeur de son grand frère, mais très représentatif de l'inimitable style brillant du cru.

Avec environ 40% de merlot et 60% de cabernet-sauvignon, plus un peu de petit verdot et de cabernet franc, le second vin du château Margaux représente 55% de l'assemblage final. La robe dense possède une teinte grenat. Très axé sur les fruits frais, le nez exhale d'intenses arômes d'églantine, de cassis et de réglisse. La bouche souple renferme un très joli fruit et des tanins modérés mais bien présents. Bien concentré, ce millésime offre une véritable pureté de fruit, mais sa maturité un peu juste rend la finale légèrement dure, ce qui lui donne de la droiture.

A balanced and fruity wine with good blackberry and currant character. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Grows on the palate. Medium finish. Pretty.
