James Suckling: 95 Points
Very ripe for a second wine this is now delicious thanks to the rich blackberry and cassis fruit, full supple tannins and long finish that's simultaneously dry and creamy. Where is that porterhouse steak? Drink or hold.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
Barrel sample. Very rich, dense, pushing great blackberry fruits and ripe tannins. As always on the level of a classed growth.
Decanter: 93 Points
This is an absolutely killer combination of vibrant, plush red fruits and finely-wrought tannins that are still working hard on the silky-smooth palate. With vibrant edging to the colour and a gorgeous, mouthwatering finish, this is a near-perfect Pavillon - ready to enjoy now but will go long. Great stuff, and bodes well for the rest of the vintage in Margaux. Drinking Window 2019 - 2036.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2009 Pavillon Rouge de Château Margaux has quite a Pauillac-inspired bouquet. Fresh and lively touches of pencil box and leather infuse the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, fresh and vibrant and conveying an irresistible sense of energy. It is not a deep or densely structured Margaux but it feels long and tender. Excellent. 13.9% alcohol. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux features an expressive, beautifully floral nose of dried roses and candied violets over a core of kirsch, Black Forest cake and fragrant earth with touches of black tea and cigar box. Medium-bodied, the palate is soft, plush, elegant and open-knit with an effortlessness to its character and a perfumed finish.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
Very sleek, with a lovely winey edge to the plum, cassis and blackberry fruit, laced with roasted apple wood, lilac and singed iron notes. Tangy and lengthy, with ample depth, but also nearly approachable now. Best from 2013 through 2023.
