I think an excellent value. Complexity and typicity of margaux. Certainly a bit young but i think this could be great. Rspecially at $24

Margaux like body with well integrated soft tannins and dark fruit with a hint of pencil lead on the finish. Not overly complex but enjoyable. Paid 32 dollars 5 years ago for this... reasonable value for entry Margaux.

2010 vintage. Great blend and very drinkable now. Decanted for about 2 hrs. Nice nose, smooth but big with smooth finish.

Nose if fine, taste is bitter and unbalanced

Very mello, smooth. Washed down a cheese fondue perfectly.

Black berries, very nice smells. Not much the velvet Bordeaux, but it definitely has character
