Tasting notes
Aroma
Presents a beautifully evolved, soaring bouquet of dried red currant, crushed spring violets, and sweet tobacco, seamlessly layered with mature notes of sandalwood, cedar, and graphite.
Palate
Driven by signature Margaux elegance and 15 years of precise cellaring. The palate delivers a supple, medium-bodied core of dark plum and red cherry, framed by fully resolved, powdery tannins. It glides seamlessly to a long, aromatic finish laced with dried herbs and a touch of crushed-rock minerality.

In Detail
A flawlessly aged First Growth in the ultimate collector's format.
The 2011 Château Margaux just hit 15 years — and it's stepping into its prime drinking window right now.
Only 14 retailers in the world list this wine. Only 3 are in the US. We're the lowest at $1,140, $440 below retail. For perspective, major US retailers are currently demanding over $1k for a single standard 750mL bottle of the 2011 vintage.
Margaux 2011 has shed its youthful structure and entered its prime: supple, medium-bodied, dark plum and red cherry, fully resolved tannins, dried herbs and crushed-rock minerality on the finish. The First Growth you bring to the table this weekend.
The Magnum format is the absolute zenith of cellaring — wine ages slower, steadier, with deeper integration than a standard bottle. Finding a perfectly mature Margaux Magnum at all is rare. Finding one drinking at peak is the move.
Drinking window: 2025–2100. Open it this weekend, or your great-grandkids can.
