🏰 The 2009 vintage in Bordeaux was heralded as extraordinary, characterized by near-perfect climatic conditions with a warm summer and timely rainfall, leading to splendidly ripe and robust harvests. The Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux 2009 is considered one of the finest second wines Château Margaux has ever made, with some critics even suggesting it surpasses many of the estate's Grand Vin bottlings from earlier decades. It offers a wonderful tasting experience with plums, berries, strawberries, and flowers. The wine is full and creamy textured, with gorgeous ripe tannins and a long, long finish, showcasing amazing tannin quality and balance. Robert Parker rated it 93 points, noting black raspberry, cedar, and foresty/underbrush notes in its round, generous, full-bodied, seductive embrace of black fruits interwoven with floral notes. Decanter also gave it 93 points, describing it as an "absolutely killer combination of vibrant, plush red fruits and finely-wrought tannins" that are still working hard on the silky-smooth palate. Vinous scored it 93 points, highlighting a Pauillac-inspired bouquet with fresh and lively touches of pencil box and leather infusing the black fruit. 【 瑪歌酒莊最佳副牌酒之一 】.
