Château Margaux 1996 is **refined and classically styled**, showing a cedar-and-tobacco bouquet over ripe blackcurrant and red fruit.
The palate is silky and well-proportioned, with **fine tannins**, balanced acidity, and a long, harmonious finish that adds savory depth. It has the poise and polish you expect from top Margaux, with a maturity that brings out earthy complexity without losing freshness. If you enjoy mature First Growth Bordeaux, it can recall a more graceful, cooler-year version of Château Latour, but with softer texture.
Serve with roast lamb, duck breast, or a simple mushroom dish.
