Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux, Margaux, France 2016 Masciarelli and zesty citrusMedium to deep garnet purple colored, the 2016 Pavilion Rouge du Chateau Margaux (composed of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot) bursts forth with exuberant Morello cherries, black raspberries and cassis scents accented by touches of menthol, dark chocolate and garrigue plus a waft of tree bark. The palate is medium bodied, very elegant, vivacious and fresh with satiny tannins and a nice long finish.
