Elegant and refined, at a very good spot now. Medium-bodied, almost light, but showcases Margaux finesse in a nice way.

1996 vintage. Really nice specimen. Opened (not decanted) and tasted after two hours. Unified earthy, funky, lived in BDX nose paired with medium body. Surprisingly, still a splash of baby fat evident on the cheeks along with a blue fruit accent. Ripe plum, cassis and leather followed. Drinking great currently with extensive follow-through on the finish and should hold as such till 2030. 02.28.25.

Saddle leather, molasses, with subtle smokiness.

Magnum. Took about an hour to open up. Same on the palate as it is on the nose-funky, earthy, old tennis shoes.
