Château Margaux
Château d`issan
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2005
Powerful wine representative of Margaux - graphite, vanilla, smoke, and dark red and black fruit. Still showing plenty of tannic structure. Lots of cellar life remains for this vintage! — 8 days ago
Château Labégorce
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2019
2019 vintage. Last tasted 11.6.23 (9.3.) and 2.23.23 (9.0). PNP and tasted after 3 mins and 30 minutes. Medium body. Forward cherry and plum throughout. Mid-palate and back end spices started to show up after a spell. Reticent tannins initially but they started to wake up at the half hour mark. Coulda used an aerating decant but was lazy. The nice price for just above entry-level Margaux and three cases left so we’ll have it a while. Suspect it would have garnered a 9.3 with that decant. 12.27.25 — 10 days ago

Château Cantenac Brown
Margaux Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2010
Great choice for Christmas Prime Rib. Oaky, tannic with blackberry, tart blackberry, plum, 13.5 ABV. Really drinking well and will be even better with more age. Unfortunately, only bottle in my cellar. — 6 days ago
Château Lascombes
Chevalier de Lascombes Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2019
Blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, deep Ruby color with aromas of red and black fruits with toasty spice. On the palate flavors of black raspberry, currants and black cherry with licorice, toasty oak and tobacco. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and earthy tobacco spice. Drinking well now! — 4 days ago
Château Palmer
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2009
It was more subdued than I expected. I tend to like the Merlot heavy Bordeaux but this one was still a bit muted. Perhaps it needs more time even though it’s well in its recommended range. Dark and heavy. Solid but left me underwhelmed. Decanted. Better after an hour. — 8 days ago
Château Malescot St. Exupéry
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2009
Great tertiary notes to complement dark fruit and typical Margaux minerality. Some herbaetiousness on the nose and the palete but quite enjoyable. — 6 days ago

The nose is profoundly layered and regal: cedar chest, humid tobacco, graphite, and dried rose petals, unfolding slowly into red currant, black tea, sandalwood, and the faintest whisper of truffle and old parchment. It’s not about intensity; it’s about dimension…
On the palate, it is seamless and sovereign. Red and black fruits are fully resolved into essence rather than flavor; currant, cherry skin, a touch of plum; all wrapped in polished leather and earth. The tannins have dissolved into silk, the acidity remains statuesque, and the finish lingers with a calm, noble persistence that feels endless rather than long.
Chateau Margaux at its absolute summit: complete, composed, and eternal; power expressed through grace, and grace sharpened by the patience of time. Do drink now. — 11 days ago
