Château Desmirail 2010 – Margaux, Cru Classé

The nose is aromatic, elegant and offers a certain racy power as well as a fine intensity. It reveals notes of quite ripe blackberry, pulpy plum, wild strawberry and small notes of sweet spices associated with touches of violet, cardamom as well as hints of clove, underwood and a very fine hint of pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, racy and offers a juicy/acidulous frame, fat, fullness, a beautiful lightly unctuous matter, a fine freshness as well as energy and elegance. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/fleshy blackberry, pulpy cassis and small notes of fleshy raspberry associated with touches of ripe violet plum as well as hints of violet, mocha, camphor, toasted, cardamom, fine hints of underwood, clove and a very fine hint of hazelnut. Good length. Tannins are very finely firm. A persistence on notes of underwood, pulpy fruits and a very fine hint of tonka bean.
