CRITIC REVIEWS
Jancis Robinson
Mid ruby with rim shaded to pale. Light iodine plus herbaceous nose. Mild and well balanced but in a very minor key. Certainly not pushed but there is little first-growth drama here – though admittedly it does build toward a pretty nice finish. But its difficult to see the value in this wine alas.
Robert M. Parker, Jr.
A Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated wine that reflects the vintage, the 2013 Chateau Margaux is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. For the first time, there is no Merlot in the blend. Moreover, only 38% of the crop made it into Margaux, a finesse-styled, classic effort offering notes of spring flowers, blue and red fruits, decent acidity, sweet tannin, and a lovely, round, medium-bodied mouthfeel. The 2013 is not as concentrated as a great vintage, nor does it have the power and length of a top year, but it is a well-made, charming red to enjoy during its first 10-12 years of life.
