Beautiful nose! Fruit is largely expired but the tannins persist and are much softer than typical Cabernet tannins. Drink this soon! — 8 days ago

1983 vintage. Had the requisite BDX "funk" in the nose upon opening. Coming hard with the Pompey/Crassus/Caesar triumvirate of cherry, cedar and earth in both the nose and flavor profile. Light-medium body. Decanted (mega-sed!) and tasted over the course of two hours. Not improving but slotted into this groove a few years ago and can see it performing these same dance moves for another 7-10 years. 7.22.23. — 9 months ago

Oh such a lovely wine. 1983 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Recorked in 2023. Such a beautiful nose. Opened without decanting, but gave it 25-30 minutes. Palette still needs to open a bit. Enjoyed before it really opened with the Lumache (duck and goose with ricotta): delicious but still not open enough. Then ordered the prime rib and it really opened up after more than an hour open. Nose remained so pretty but the palate really got going. Tertiary flavors of leather, earth and spice, yet with a nice touch of red fruits (cherry). BYOB BTW. — a month ago

Mooie Port, maar mag nog best een jaar of 10-20 jaar liggen. Nog wel wat scherpe randjes. — 6 months ago

Medium deep garnet with a quite wide garnet rim . Aromatic with rose , pressed flowers , dried earth , forest floor . On the palate delicate with finesse , more red fruits than dark , those earthy notes and forest floor also, red currant , touch of smoke . Pretty melted tannins , good fresh acidity . Just starting to dry out perhaps on the finish so I would drink sooner than later . I get the impression that the aroma is so interesting and complex but the palate just lacks a little depth . But all in all this is quintessential Margaux. Drink now and over the next 5-8 years. — 3 months ago

Golden edges, spices on the nose, an ample mouthfeel with cherry very much present. — 7 months ago
