Excellent offering by the glass - petite and precise. A light but determined Bordeaux. I love this wine's sense of presence. It knows what it is and it does it well. Graphite nose, the palette starts with an off-sour attack of blue fruit but mid palette is soft. Finish is medium but the tannins are so fine they're almost liquid. A value Margaux that incorporates the subtleties and depth of much higher priced offerings.
