Ok, but not great. Needs to air before flavour comes out and starts a little bitter. There are much better cndp out there for not much more money. — a month ago

Not too bad but needs to breathe before drinking or you get a vinegar taste. Bought Tesco for £8 and drunk 7/2/20. — 5 years ago

The 2018 isn't the greatest, even though I left it to air for a decent period of time. Not a great deal of flavour and I would not buy this (this was a present). — 2 months ago

Nice enough but certainly not the best Margaux. Drunk 24/12 and bought at Tesco for £20, so at that price not too bad. — 7 years ago
