Chateau Boyd-Cantenac Margaux 2009
The recent vintages are red dark and dense, with complex aromas of fruit, enhanced by the barrel and bottle aging.
In the mouth, the entry is supple and progressive; then comes a mouth filling volume, and at the end, the ripe tannins assure excellent aging capability the general balance is always harmonious, more aromatic, mouth filling and elegant than powerful, which is characteristic of the traditional Margaux.

This glass is fundamentally the same used for bodied and mature white wines, as a matter of fact it can be used the very same glass. This kind of wine, having rather aggressive tannins, when present, must mainly stimulate the inner parts of the mouth while avoiding, at least in the initial phase as the wine is introduced in the oral cavity, the contact with gum because the astringency would originate an unpleasing tactile sensation. The body of the glass must also be large in order to allow an adequate oxygenation and development of aromas. |
