RATINGS

92Vinous / IWC

...dense, powerful and full of character. Dark cherry, plum, wild flowers, mint and blood orange are all laced together in the glass. This is a plush, full-bodied and super-expressive Margaux.

90James Suckling

Shows plenty of blueberry and black-licorice character in the glass and opens nicely to a medium body, firm and silky tannins and a slightly chewy finish.

90Jeb Dunnuck

...solid, with classic Margaux elegance as well as complex notes of dried flowers, spice, and both red and black fruits. Medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, and silky, yet with solid underlying structure and depth...
