This was at its apex. Sooo good. It came as part of a cellar I acquired recently and it developed beautifully over an hour. Totally Margaux! It has perfume, clay and lots of lift. Still textured and lively fruit. Only subtle secondary notes but everything is in the right place. If I had a case I would drink it all this year. Wonderful wine

Been a while since I've drank a Bordeaux. This was a solid one, but I'm not sure if it's my thing.

2017 vintage. Light-medium/medium body. Color and flavors coming across as a Margaux twice the age. Not impressed by this sample/vintage from this producer but would try another vintage to confirm, or change, impressions 6.26.24.

Silky texture, blackberry aromas on the nose, decanted and let sit for a few hrs.

Blackberry and tobacco on the nose. Earthy/clay and more of the black fruit on the palate. Medium bodied. Better with beef than donuts 😉.
