Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Robert Parker - 28 Feb 93
Kirwan's wines have improved during the eighties, so I was disappointed that the 1989 did not excite me more. Elegant, charming, and soft, but lacking some intensity and character, it represents a good short-term claret for drinking between now and 1999.

Margaux

Margaux, in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for producing some of the world’s most elegant red wines. Margaux wines are characterised by floral notes of violet and rose, red and black fruits like cherry and blackcurrant, refined tannins, a silky texture, and a complex, long finish. The region's gravelly soil enhances grape concentration. Top producers include Château Margaux, known for its finesse and ageing potential; Château Palmer, recognized for its rich, aromatic wines; and Château Rauzan-Ségla, celebrated for its elegant precision.
