2020 vintage. Last tasted 12.30.24 (9.3) and 10.02.24 (9.4). Still a bit tight. 85% Cabernet, 13% Merlot and 2% Cab Franc with the Cab Franc verry prominent currently. Woulda guessed at least 10% CF influence/involvement/investment. Some decided dark chocolate and dark plum on the finish. The first biodynamic Margaux estate (2016) if that moves your needle.

Jan 15th, 20252020 vintage. PNP against my own notes 10.02.24 (9.4) but too dayum lazy tonight. Super intense with waves of dark fruit aboard. Just needed to crack something decent for the lady tonite without decanting or going too deep into other selections. This lost the coin toss and got crushed within 1.5 hours. Still, showing great but tasting like a final exam. Try as you may to avoid the aforementioned scenario if at all possible. 12.30.24

Dec 31st, 20242020 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.
