2008 Pavillon Rouge by Ch Margaux (2nd Wine of Ch Margaux)



Tasted at the winery with one of the sexiest women in all of Bordeaux. The first growths generally have pretty good hiring policies. As I said to her,’ I would prefer to drink a bottle of Pavillon Rouge with her than a bottle of Margaux by myself’. My French didn’t quite get the joke across properly.
Red berries, pepper spice and some green capsicum on the nose. Cabernet is dominant here but still provides a medium-almost light bodied weight. It is approachable and unintimidating. The finish is long but has a slight bitterness. Looks good. 91+ Points
