Recently our team had the pleasure to taste a vertical back to 1975, exploring different chapters of the estate’s recent history. While a clear step towards excellence took place under Michael Rolland’s tenure between 1991 and 2006, it is in the last decade Kirwan found its own tipicity thanks to meticulous viticulture and rigorous winemaking. The 2022 embodies the Chateau’s Margaux DNA in its finest form – utterly delicious from start to finish, enveloped by silky fruit and serious tannins, Kirwan 2022 promises several decades of joyful drinking at a very compelling price point.

” The 2022 Kirwan bestows plenty of luscious fruit on the nose with blackberry, bilberry, cedar and crushed iris flower, unfolding nicely in the glass. There is a satisfying depth to these aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, lively and packed full of fruit, with saturated tannins and decent acidity. This is one of the more approachable Margaux wines this vintage, yet it has commendable freshness and structure. This Kirwan will give plenty of pleasure over 20-30 years. A second and third bottles were a little creamier on the finish. “
