Lean, but creamy, with sweet pear and soft lemon taking the lead. No sharp edges, easy-drinking with a textbook flavor profile. — 5 years ago

2015 vintage. Second vintage consulted by Hubert de Boüard. A blend of 55% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot. Textbook Margaux of Cru Classé quality. Refinement and depth with a serious soft tannic backbone and great length. Terrific value at 20 euros. Highly recommended. — 4 years ago

Tannins have really softened up. Fruit is very ripe - blackberry, red cherry. Raisin, fig, plum. Seems to me to be meeting its end of drinking window. Still quite delicious. — 8 months ago

9.6

Simply outstanding. Birth year of my daughter, Paul sent this to me. Traveled with us from NYC to Japan. Cork was a bit problematic. Despite the label notes of timing this was still gong strong. Clearly measured up to Paul’s La Tour great vintage aspirations. Wish we had more than the remaining 1/2 bottle. Textbook wine and not just CA. — a year ago

Very nicely balanced and fragrant. Dried sea shells, chicken broth, hay, lemon-lime. Rounded and juicy in the mouth, with chalky minerality, nicely ripe fruit, and nice acids. Pretty textbook. — 5 years ago
