Château Margaux Pavillon Rouge 2018

The 2018 Pavillon Rouge is a brooding powerhouse that demands patience. Massive dark fruit and imposing tannins dominate the early going, but time in the glass reveals glimpses of Margaux's signature finesse beneath the muscle. This is built from lots deemed too tannic for the Grand Vin, and it shows—requiring serious cellaring to reach its potential. Drink 2028-2045.
