Margaux 2005 is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine for the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. With a history dating back centuries, Château Margaux stands as an icon of winemaking excellence, producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of the appellation. This First Growth estate covers approximately 262 hectares and is owned by the Mentzelopoulos family since the 1970s. The 2005 vintage is available here in magnum format. "In two recent tastings the 2005 Château Margaux has been nothing less than magnificent. A wine of stunning perfume and inner sweetness, the 2005 gradually opens to reveal layers of red-toned fruit intermingled with floral accents. It`s as if all the classic Margaux signatures have been amped up in a huge way. Dehydration on the vine concentrated the fruit, but also the impression of tannin and acid, such that the 2005 retains huge fruit density along with plenty of brightness as well. Vibrant and beautifully layered, the 2005 Grand Vin is off the charts and easily one of the wines of the vintage." Vinous, 2021
