Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend

Signature Margaux aroma. Leather bound book, musty cabernet pepper, purple flowers, hickory smoke, and spice. Some pyrazines. Very silky texture and great volume. Tree bark and cassis on the palate. Fruit emerging after an hour.

I don't even know what to say

Still in need of further cellaring or an extended decant. Seductive dark berry notes though with nice bitter chocolate and espresso bean notes too.

Magnum.

In the decanter...starting to open up nicely!

Magnum, still tasting incredibly balanced. Dark cherry, plum and cassis predominate but secondary notes of leather and mocha quickly follow. The acidity is palpable. The finish is long with setting flavors of ripe dark fruit.

Solid and very pretty and feminine for Bordeaux. Def showing the weak vintage. A very good but not sublime Margaux and def approachable today.

As smooth sick but full bodied and rich. Dangerous!

This was paired with the carpaccio. Perfect pick!

Ruby red and lush strawberries in superb craftmanship. Noblesse oblige...
