Estimate
Layers of black fruits and tight tannins set this wine on a serious road. It has the freshness of the vintage as well as the bright acidity.
Love the fruit and juicy character to this second wine of Margaux. Medium to full body, superfine tannins and a long finish. The freshness and savory finish are a big plus.
Gorgeous, with a velvety, caressing feel, as warm plum sauce and blackberry confiture notes glide over a thoroughly embedded graphite edge. Rather lush, but light tobacco, bay and iron hints keep this focused even as the fruit takes center stage.
...has a crisp, precise, Pauillac-like bouquet with fine delineation, a touch of graphite infusing the black fruit, austere but rather compelling...palate is medium-bodied with fine, quite supple tannin... Very fine, very delicious.
...shines for its elegance, as well as its sexy, sumptuous texture. Giving up lots of spice, dried flowers, sandalwood, and cassis fruits, it has more than a passing resemblance to its bigger sibling...medium-bodied richness, sweet tannin, nicely integrated oak, and charming, character filled personality...
...nose with copious red cherry, blackberry and spice-box aromas. With aeration it reveals a little more sous-bois, the oak nicely integrated...palate is medium-bodied with a tightly knit opening.
Leafy, youthful black fruit. On the palate this has lovely depth and length. The tannins are compact but polished.
This is a second label of Château Margaux
