The second wine, the 2008 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux, represents 47% of
the crop (keep in mind that 17% of the total crop was sold off in bulk), and is
composed of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, and the rest mostly Petit
Verdot with a tiny dollop of Cabernet Franc. It is a beautiful wine exhibiting
classic purity along with red and black fruits intermixed with licorice,
tobacco leaf, and floral nuances. Sweet, round tannins, and a lovely forward
freshness suggest this stunning second wine should drink well young, yet last
for 15+ years.

Compared to 2006 and 2007, the 2008 dry white wines of Bordeaux are inferior,
but that does not mean they are not very good. They do not possess the flesh,
power, or richness of the 2006 and 2007, but they reveal precise, intensely
aromatic personalities, lighter bodies, and more noticeable acidity. These
remain among the world’s most underrated world-class dry white wines. I
will provide full tasting notes once they are in bottle, but following are the
dry whites I tasted along with their approximate scores.

The balance and harmony in this powerful Second Wine is immediately reminiscent
of the sensational Grand Vin. The creamy black cherry and blackcurrant
fruit is as smooth as velvet and extremely mouth-filling. The much greater
percentage of Merlot (48%) this year gives it far more opulence than usual,
while the Cabernet Sauvignon (48%) provides the incredible concentration,
tannic structure and sheer class. This tastes more like a Second Growth
than a Second Wine.

It never ceases to amaze us how such a fine white wine can be made from 100%
Sauvignon Blanc. Despite the incredible ripeness of the fruit, this is all
finesse and elegance with beguiling aromatics and pure, cool, minerally,
pineapple and citrus fruit. The finish is zingy, intense and aristocratic. Even
Paul Pontallier admits that this is not made to taste like classic Sauvignon
Blanc. It is of course so much better than that - what Sauvignon, after all,
could last and improve for over 15 years, or be as good as this?

"One of the finest examples I have ever tasted, the 2000 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux exhibits supple tannin along with big, sweet, luscious balck currant flavours intermixed with hints of cedar, spice box and vanilla. Plump and fleshy with low acidity, it will offer delicious drinking now and over the next 10-15 years. Don't miss it!" 90/100 pts. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Apr-2003)

If Lafite 2007 is all about texture, then Margaux is all about perfume and
finesse. With only 32% of the crop deemed worthy of this great wine - the most
rigorous selection ever - this is like Ch. Margaux essence. The delicate,
aromatic raspberry and cassis nose is unmistakably Ch. Margaux while the supple
palate builds into a crescendo of pure, precise red and black fruit with
creamy, apple hints. This very fine, beautifully integrated Margaux is true to
its terroir and will be gorgeous to drink while you wait for the legendary 2005
to mature.

"The 2004 Chateau Margaux, which has put on weight since I tasted it a
year ago, is a superb example of why in certain cool, late ripening vintages,
the en primeur tastings are easily 4-6 weeks too soon. At the January, 2006
tasting, the wine exhibited a gorgeous nose of licorice, white flowers, black
currant liqueur, and subtle new oak. This aromatic, medium to full-bodied,
superbly concentrated Margaux reminds me of a lighter version of the 1996.
Precise, extremely well-delineated, beautifully pure, and, as the French would
say, tres Margaux, it should be at its apogee between 2009-2028."
92-94/100 points. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Jun-2006)

The 1998 Margaux is is a robust, firm offering. On the nose, notes of smoke,
green peppers, and floral-infused blackfruit are accompanied by a
fleshy,fleshy-textured palate, with copious amounts of earthy, dusty berry
fruits and licorice. A complex, pure offering that is best drunk during its
second decade of its life.

Seductive nose with notes of cassis, tar, liquorice and treacle. Medium to full-bodied, ripe and intense and long lasting on the palate with firm but supple tannins as well as good acidity. Just about ready and will last for another 15-20 years.
