At over 20 years old, this bottle is in a prime drinking window, offering a sophisticated balance between evolving tertiary notes and the estate's signature purity of fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe estate's unique terroir—composed of deep white gravel—provides the perfect drainage for Cabernet Sauvignon, allowing the wine to achieve remarkable density without ever losing its characteristic silkiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Highlights\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2004\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRegion\/Appellation:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaux, Bordeaux, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Château Margaux\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGrape:\u003c\/b\u003e A classic Left Bank blend dominated by \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"46\"\u003eCabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/b\u003e, typically supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Fully mature, elegant, and medium-to-full-bodied Red Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTasting Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e An exquisite nose of blackcurrants, dried violets, and cedar, layered with complex hints of graphite, black tea leaf, and subtle tobacco.
