2020 vintage. Opened and tasted over the course of an hour. Medium/medium heavy body. Nose both riper and bigger than last handful of vintages. Salinity, Graham cracker, hibiscus, camphor and blueberry all prominent up front. Finely-grained tannins afoot and started to relax the defenses after approx a half hour after opening. Serious and well made. Not a casual Margaux to attempt a PNP with. 10.02.24. — 3 months ago

Lovely ripe , fine tannins and really good freshness . Good grafite , cassis tinged length.

[En magnum] This was aerated for 3 hours, and is still currently quite closed and structured, works great with the UCD Meat Lab rib roast, but needs a fair amount of cellaring to soften. — a day ago
