Second wine of Margaux from a very good vintage. Still an adolescent. This would fool many blind. Very young, ripe, fresh and unresolved with loads of baking spices. At this stage, it seems more new world than old world. It going to take 10 years plus to show it’s Margaux elegance. Even after four hours in decanter. Dark currants. Ripe blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, black plum, strawberries pull up the rear, deep spice, clove, nutmeg, light vanilla, violets, red florals, tannins still big and fairly chewy. Cedar, tobacco, graphite, dry river stones, dark moist turned earth, leather, dry herbs/bay leaf, black licorice, caramel, dry stems, cherry cola, red licorice, fresh dark florals with violets, good acidity, big structure, tension, length but well balanced. The finish is still big, fruit driven with with strong dark rich earthy backside. @Charlie Palmer disappointing steak house

Quite structured, but some great elements poking out. Dark red plum, currant with some cedar as well.

Smooth, highly concentrated with notes of dark chocolate/coffee….delicious

Dec 19th, 2021Opened this afternoon. Very astringent finish initially with lots of oak and ash. The nose initially was worthy of a 96. Wildflowers, herb-rich, sweet fruit, but quite a bit of oak. Palate was soft, yet rather powerful. Wild herb, black cherry, fig, ash, sweet tobacco and rather complex. Would have gone perfectly with a marinated pork loin and herb roasted potatoes. Still getting quite a bit of astringency and acidity on the finish. Capable of so much more. Goes to show you the structure of the second wine of Ch Margaux!

Always fun when Adam brings the family and fun. First bottle of the night- starting out nice and easy. Light weight, little creamy with good fruit.

Tamed tannins. A glorious finish. All of the right Bordeaux notes from dark berries to tobacco.

まだまだピークはこれから。
やや陰性の青いピーマンの香り。
果実味はあり、タンニン、酸味バランスいいが、まだ少し荒い 。
