These are beautifully interwoven with subtle, engaging spicy notes. On the palate, the attack is refreshing, delivering subtle menthol notes which are lifted and enhanced by a beautiful acidity. The mid-palate seduces with its aromatic richness and structure, featuring fine and ripe tannins that contribute to its considerable body. Overall, this is a wine of great elegance, concluding with a persistent and gourmet finish.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlend of Cabernet sauvignon (59%), merlot (28%), cabernet franc (6%), petit verdot (6%) and carménère (1%)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAged 19 months in barrels, 50% of which are new\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e90\/100 Pts | Robert Parker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e16.5\/20 Pts | Jancis Robinson\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring: \u003c\/strong\u003eNow to 2040\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:  \u003c\/strong\u003eDelicious with\u003cstrong\u003e  \u003c\/strong\u003eveal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted braised, and grilled dishes \u003cspan\u003e| 🌡️ Serve between \u003cstrong\u003e16 and 18ºC\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTORY BEHIND THE WINE \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"teaser-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e3rd Classified Growth of Margaux during the great classification of the wines of the Médoc in 1855, the Château Kirwan has belonged to the Schÿler family since 1925. Driven by the dynamism of Philippe Delfaut and equipped with infrastructures worthy of its terroir, Château Kirwan belongs to the elite of the great growths of Margaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter the mildew of 2018, 2019 appeared as a solar vintage with heat records broken in July. At Château Kirwan, 2019 highlighted a perfectly achieved balance between the volume of foliage and the quantity of grapes. The clayey gravels allowed to store water reserves in order to return them to the vine, thus avoiding water stress. The harvest thus began on September 23 on the property and ended on October 11.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-html-container\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/margaux\" class=\"global-button\"\u003eBrowse our Margaux Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chateau Kirwan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56255910150488,"sku":"200098","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/chateau-kirwan-bordeaux-red-margaux-whelehans-wines-dublin-wineshop.jpg?v=1764258338","url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/products\/chateau-kirwan-2019","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
