...a taut, linear, pencil lead-infused bouquet with pure blackberry and boysenberry scents, an undercurrent of tobacco... there is pedigree here from start to finish, a sense of effortlessness that is seductive. This is a top-class wine...
This elegant wine is very much in the classic style of Margaux... fresh black currant fruits along with an underlying firm, long-lived tannic structure. The aftertaste with its dryness and acidity confirms that.
...beautifully polished & suave with pliant fruit & plenty of finesse, all in a classic, mid-weight Margaux style... stony, mineral-infused energy... Grilled herbs, smoke, graphite & sage add further nuances on a savory, delineated finish.
Real interest on the nose. Very charming and beautifully balanced. Great poise. More forward than some though. Massive fruit hides the pretty massive tannins.
