Chateau Kirwan 2019

The 2019 Kirwan offers a quintessential Margaux bouquet with vivid black and blue fruit laced with crushed violets, a sensual and generous nose that will please many. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy rounded tannins, one of the texturally creamiest within the Margaux appelation. I feel it just shaves away some tension and grip on the finish. This will be a thoroughly pleasurable Kirwan

Château Kirwan is a charming Third Growth estate located in the Margaux region. Visitors that are fortunate enough to roam the grounds are often dazzled by stunning rose gardens and exquisite views of vineyards in Margaux and Cantenac. Château Kirwan is all about accessible, modern, and elegant hospitality -- with a tasting room that looks like a quaint living room. The message they want you to absorb here is, “Come, stay, rest awhile and taste our wines.” Lucky visitors have the opportunity to taste vintages that date as far back as 1968 -- a rare opportunity in Bordeaux normally given to industry insiders and the elite. This notion of elegance without pretense permeates throughout the estate, right down to the wines. Buyers who are frustrated with the extravagant Bordeaux prices often find more recent vintages of Château Kirwan to overdeliver, yet still remain accessible and easy to purchase.
