Margaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France. Located 25 kilometers (15 miles) north of the city of Bordeaux, the appellation is famous for producing supple, perfumed wines, predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon, which can show excellent structure and longevity.
Red Bordeaux Blends are known for their powerful structure and deep flavors. Dark fruits and berries such as plum and blackcurrant are commonly used to describe the flavors of red Bordeaux, although there is an unlimited range of terms that have been ascribed to them. Tannins tend to be relatively high in these wines, giving them a firm structure.
Tasting note: "Medium to deep, ruby-red is darkly pigmented. The dark fruit aromas are closed, with cedar & cocoa aromas dominating the nose. Concentrated, rich black fruits on the palate have passable freshness. The structure is supple, yet retains fair grip. Alcohol is balanced & length is fairly good. The wine is balanced & concentrated, but the fruit is a little flat at present."
