1994
Perhaps in 1994 the cabernet sauvignon ultimately lacked a few extra days of sunshine. It produced very concentrated, tannic wines with a slightly firm finish.
Château Margaux 1994 is a dense and powerful wine, though still somewhat austere. Its tightly knit tannic structure has softened more than we had anticipated at the time of blending.
Today, the bouquet is developing well. Charm is slowly replacing power, and it is now ready to be enjoyed. (February 2025)
Climate
A particularly hot and dry summer and a very early harvest enabled the grapes to reach a remarkable level of concentration and richness. The heavy rain during the picking came too late to cause any real problems for the ripening of the grapes. (The picking began on 13th September)
