LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

Perfection in a bottle. If you only drink one First Growth in your life, make it Margaux for its haunting aromatics.

The Library Note

Ideally situated on the left bank of the Gironde, Margaux has been making wine since the 16th century. It famously seduced Thomas Jefferson and Ernest Hemingway. It is often described as an 'iron fist in a velvet glove'—powerful yet incredibly refined.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Intoxicating perfume. Violets, black currants, cigar box, and truffle.

THE PALATE

Silky and seamless. Layers of dark fruit, fine tannins, and graphite.

THE FINISH

Ethereal and persistent.
