Château Margaux
Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Expectations were high. Okay. Nice balance, but needed more time.

Jun 9th, 20231.5 hour decant(decent fine/cloudy sediment). A beguiling medium dark garnet color. On the nose: perfumed notes of brambly raspberry, cassis, pine, floral, herbaceous. Taste: smooth, velvety, brooding wine with plum, cassis, tobacco, baking spice, iron, a touch of graphite-mocha with a medium plus finish and a little ending tannic kick. YUM! Drinks well with the decant and looking forward to trying again with more time on it.
