Leather with a hint of mushroom, pine cone, baked plum and cigar box aromas. Black and red currant inform an abundant palate of oak dust and cedar strip, wet cobblestone, dried rose petal, licorice extract, pencil shavings, eucalyptus, black, ripe plum skin, light pepper, and bitter cinnamon.

Still very young and tannic. Oak and tobacco overpowers the dark fruit. Not opening the other bottle we have for another 10 years!

2010 gravely and lively when opened, smoothed out throughout the night and classic full mouthed Margaux. Excellent

Earth and alcohol on the nose, perfume hints on the pallet, mild tannins but definitely could benefit by aging longer. Decent second label left bank Bordeaux!
