Château Kirwan 2021 – Margaux 3ème Grand Cru Classé

The nose is elegant, delicate, subtle and offers certain racy power and subtlety, brightness and depth. There are notes of bright cherry, violet and, more lightly, pulpy/flavoured violet plum, combined with touches of bright raspberry and hints of blue berries, liquorice, fine hints of liquorice/badian and a very discreet hint of graphite, racy minerality, sap and subtle hints of bourbon vanilla. The palate is nicely fresh, elegant, charming and reveals creaminess in its freshness, a nice acidic spine, a nice freshness, a nice grain, a little air in the approach, a fine varietal side in the background (which carries) as well as a subtle dark fruits quality. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/sparkling blackberry, blue plum and, more lightly, star anise/black licorice combined with hints of crushed strawberry, fine hints of crushed red currants, fine hints of fresh lilac, racy minerality/marlins, as well as fine hints of tonka bean, mocha, discrete hints of toasted hazelnut and chocolate. The tannins are elegant, precise, delicate, fresh and reveal suppleness. Congratulations!
