Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend

Lovely classic Bordeaux from Margaux (Ch Malescot St Exupery) a Grand Cru from the underrated 2004 vintage, lovely balanced and at its peak. Nothing great or amazing yet a very solid and elegant Bordeaux with notes of coffee, black current, prunes, earth, tobacco, tar and dry herbs. Medium to full body, with nice well integrated tannins and fine acidity. Pleasant finish. The wine is at its peak and I would not wait much more. My score 89, drink to 2020

Slightly herbaceous, cocoa powder, smooth finish

Favorite under-the-radar Margaux in an under-the-radar vintage. Always likable and full of that Margaux perfume. Still needs time.

An off bottle. Or this is shitting down a bit. Nose very muted, even after hours.

A great wine in an underappreciated vintage. This hits all the classic high end Bordelaise notes of clean cassis fruit, bits of graphite and a light and almost imperceptible bit of green pepper. The nose is complex and lush and beginning to reach maturity but quite a bit of fruit still remains. Decent core of acidity and tannins still not fully resolved suggest this will continue to age well, but this comes across really well for 12y old.

From Jeroboam with 8h decant. For Mom's 70th

2004 Vintage.
