1988 Pavillon Rouge du Ch. Margaux

Almost deep purple colour with pronounced nose of blackcurrant, herbaceous, earth, licorice and touch of mint and toast. It is dry with medium acidity, alcohol and bodied. Tannin is at medium level and fine-grained in nature. On palate it has medium intensity flavours of vegetal, blackcurrant, black cherry and touch of licorice. Longer than medium length with black cherry finish. (89) Lack of complexity on palate but good for casual drinking.

公公整整，香氣複雜性不錯，餘韻及酒力都很好，酒味的複雜性差了點，亦較清楚易明，沒有瑪歌區的一點曖昧，不錯的酒品。

如果唔係個餘韻有番咁上下長，我唔會覺得有90分。此酒表現出瑪歌風格，頗典型的。但複雜性及酒力也是中中等等的。合格的二軍酒，但如果我有錢我真的不會買來飲。
