Classic- Smokey toasted oak, just enough pyrazine to be enjoyable- I for one enjoy it in moderation especially in Cab and Carmenere. Really quite drinkable.

Different bottle, less typically Margaux in that it shows little dried rose element. Young and unintegrated as yet. Still a pleasant bottle. Big red and black fruit mix.

1 hour decant. Dark purple color. Has that classic French nose I love! Decent fruit that fades and thins out over time. Smells great but has that tart/bitter finish that tells you it isn’t in the upper echelon of wines. Decent QPR. Could be great in 5+yrs as it does show potential.

Very enjoyable Bordeaux blend. Lots of Cab, with a bit of Merlot and Petit Verdot. Not very analytical, but that's how I roll. Really liked this one.

A young but delicious Margaux . Elegant and perfectly balanced.

Had this at Gabriel Kreuther and was blown away. My first Margaux and as this thing opened up, it was deliciously smooth and went perfectly with everything we ate.
