Rich and perfumed with great nose and silky and velvety tannins. Notes of black raspberry, cassis and violets with a tremendously long finish

2008 vintage. Structured but accessible. Beautiful savory nose. Nice fruit and finish.

I'd put this "second label" up against many first labels.

Lovely, Just to hear it's a Margaux puts you in the mood. A couple of years would improve the after taste further, already brownish on the rim, oakiness not too pronounced

More farm and green on the Nose than the 2011. Light but still some spice
