Château Kirwan 2016
Origin and background
The 2016 vintage at Margaux was characterised by a hot, dry summer, followed by a cool, long autumn, ideal conditions for the grapes to reach optimum ripeness. Château Kirwan, planted on gravelly terroir typical of the appellation, produces a wine that combines elegance, freshness and aromatic complexity, true to the refined style of the estate.
Tasting
Colour: Deep garnet red with purple highlights.
Nose: Complex and refined. Aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), red fruit (raspberry), floral notes (violet), sweet spices (pepper, liquorice) and subtle woody notes (cedar, vanilla).
Palate: Supple, velvety attack. Fine, silky tannins, well integrated into a balanced structure. Elegant, dense mid-palate with pure fruit and refreshing acidity. Long, harmonious finish, marked by delicate spicy and woody notes.
