Chateau Desmirail, Margaux 2012 (1x75cl)

Margaux is generally the more fragrant end of the Bordeaux left bank, and Chateau Desmirail is one of the quieter names there - which often means you get the commune character without paying for the label recognition. The 2012 has more than ten years in bottle behind it.

Pull it out for a dinner with steak, lamb or anything off the grill. It also works as a gift when you would rather the wine do the talking than the name on the front. Free delivery in Hong Kong over HK$800, flat HK$80 below that, no minimum order.

Tasting notes

Margaux reds typically show floral lift, red and dark cherry, and fine-grained tannins, picking up cedar and tobacco with bottle age.
