This is a regal Margaux from a vintage written in bold.
Kirwan in Full Voice
If the 2016 vintage sang, then 2010 roared. This is Château Kirwan at full power: opulent, commanding, and built for the long haul. A textbook example of what happens when great terroir meets a truly exceptional growing season. On the nose, it's rich and regal: ripe blackcurrant, cassis, and blackberry compote wrapped in layers of cigar box and that telltale Margaux perfume.
The palate is dense and powerful, with tannins that feel carved from stone yet polished to silk. Now edging into its prime, this 2010 is the kind of Margaux that reminds you why Bordeaux is so revered.
How to Enjoy
This wine is just beginning to enter its ideal drinking window. Decant for an hour or more and serve with celebratory dishes like a standing rib roast.
