2019 vintage. Maybe it was an imperfect bottle, but this is disappointing for this estate. Not in the same league as the excellent 2018.

Young. Needs time. Started to come together as the night progressed.

The most red-fruited Margaux I've ever drunk, yes! Elegant, fresh and delicious; this earned it's gold medal in Paris. Wish I had bought more.

dark, plummy & rich on the palate, it’s the classic Margaux perfume that impresses most ~ great drop of Bordeaux for $23.95!

While it held up well, I wanted more. It was a bit hollow for good old Marg.

A major sleeper in this vintage, the 2015 d'Arsac is superb. Hints to savory herb, flowers tobacco and mint meld into a core of sumptuous dark red fruit. This bold Margaux Cru Bourgeois is a serious overachiever and flat out delicious. The 2015 is 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2018)

2013 drinking at its peak in 2022. It's all downhill from here folks 😁 amazing structure and finesse shine through heavy notes of cassis and framboise. A hint of sweet oaky vanilla rounds everything off nicely so it seems you are drinking a fancy whipped creme toppped cherry pie 🥧

It has a very ancient history but today it is a big 250 hectares estate, with 108 hectares of vines, 54 hectares classified as Margaux (after a legal battle), 50 hectares as Haut-Médoc and 4 hectares planted with Sauvignon Blanc (only entitled to the humble Bordeaux Blanc appellation over here). It shines rapidly in the nose with cassis, flowers and very subtle oak. In the mouth it is all about elegance. If you are looking for a blockbuster, this is not your kind. But if you can appreciate a classy refined gentleman then buy this by the case. Textbook Margaux finesse, with impeccable balance, nice depth and length make this one of the finest values in the appellation. Highly recommended. Abv. 13,5 %.
