8.5

We had the 2012 Vintage on 10/3/25. A really nice bouquet of leather, tobacco and mushroom. Quite perfumed. Maybe typical of Margaux. The palate was thin bodied. ABV is 13%. BlackBerry, plum and oak. Smoothed out tannins. Ready to drink. Vintage is rated at 90. I think this estate can produce a better wine in a better Vintage — 19 days ago
