Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend

Very young for a 41 year old wine. Atypical for Margaux; no flowers on the nose, just blackcurrents, wood (bitch-like) and a faint mushroomy note, not unlike truffles. Still very tannic. Typical of Giscours from the 70s/80s - the tannin has outlasted the fruit. Still very pleasant though.

Thanks Bubba!

Huge surprise, this was great!!

1975 vintage – near the end of life, but a darn treat to enjoy a piece of history. Medium tannin, smooth fruit and slight herb and spice on the finish

A bit green. Plenty of acidity still.

Part of an epic 75 Bordeaux tasting. Was a revelation. Amazingly good full of life and fruit
