Beautiful Ruby Red Colored Margaux with Strong and Powerful Tannins, Red and Black Fruit Forward with a long but slightly dry finish due to the young 2012 vintage. This Margaux was drinking quite well after one hour in the decanter which refined the tannins a little bit. If you currently have one in the Cellar, best to wait a year or two before opening. This definitely drank much better than the 2013.

Delocious and open knot. Big blue fruit couched with nice tannin.

Easy drinking, low tannin, leather and ripe berries, plummy overtones — at Laib, Tallinn

2012. Definitely slow to open up and and be Bordeaux about it. Entering its drinking timeline just now. After being open since 6 last eve....24-34 hours later..
The rad dried violet/flowers that showed on initial has finely integrated the oh-so-pretty nose with the multi-soft-grip palette. Super cool if you’re patient. Thanks Elias and Brad for letting me watch this one till it came around.....
A sleeper lies in your cellar if you’re sitting on this one. Cheers to the exploration of patience.

Rating for potential as much too young and pretty much closed for now. Forget it for the next 5 years or more.

16.5/20 (90/100) В аромате преобладают тона чёрных ягод: черника, ежевика, черная смородина, дополненные нотами чёрного шоколада и хвои. Довольно мощное во вкусе, плотное мягкими, обволакивающими танинами и ощутимой алкогольностью. Неплохо. (02.10.2017)
