Kirwan
Chateau Kirwan is named after an 18th century Irish owner who was killed in the French Revolution. This Margaux estate was under achieving for a while but the appointment of Michel Rolland in 1991 has really helped; the wine is more complex, heavier bodied and with a richer more fruit forward bouquet.

Wine Advocate (89+)The dense ruby/purple-colored, chunky, rich, slightly masculine 2011 Kirwan is medium-bodied and fleshy. It reveals excellent extraction of fruit and flavor, sweet, but noticeable tannins and a nicely textured mouthfeel as well as finish. While it may not be an archetypical Margaux, it is impressively endowed. Still young, it should hit its prime in 5-6 years and have 15-20 years of upside ahead of it. |
