Grand Cru Classé en 1855 Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend

Forest floor aromas, leather, tobacco, very tertiary and very little primary fruit left. A hint of cedar and spice, without the classic Margaux perfume.The tannins are supple and fully resolved. This wine is more evolved that I would expect for the vintage, perhaps improper storage?

Very elegant Margaux. Tobacco cigar earth and dark fruits.

Very nice on the taste

Goes beautifully with steak

Great place, soft tannin, really well developed

Whoa. Wow. This is absolutely gorgeous. "Classic" Brane Catenac at its best. Beautiful floral, graphite and blue fruit notes. Interestingly despite its traditional flavor, there's a much higher percentage of cab franc in here than normal.
