Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Fruit forward and showing cassis, juicy blackberry, kirsch, some new leather, some dark wood. Nice weight in the middle of the palate. Some length, as well.

Quite young so it’s still very vibrant and fruit forward. Very enjoyable now but would like to re-visit in a few years.

1 person found it helpfulAug 31st, 2019Middle of the road Margaux. It has a smooth and full mouth feel. Nice subtle aroma and flavor. But it’s rather subtle. I do like Bordeauxs but this seems to lack in oomph. 13.99 at WH for a half bottle. Might consider getting it in the future and decanting it for an hour before.

Quite unctuous, almost oily mouth feel. But nice. Aromatics low. I think a bit out of balance but I have no idea how long this bottle has been open and how many times the VacuVin top has been pumped. A bit dense and in your face.

Gravel, forest floor tones on the nose. Smooth finish. Good entry into drinking more French wine, definitely unique
