Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend

Silk 😌

Very light. Roses. Lifted with dried flowers and a light tense finish

Way to ring in the New Year! Lithe, feminine nose led a nicely delineated palate of dark red fruit, cigar box and velvety tannins. Wonderful.

Very lush and intense. Plum, violet and deep fruit. Very pure and long. Lovely stuff

Very pure. Balanced. Pretty floral notes. Soft red cherry, stone orange rind. Very pretty.

Brawny for Margaux. Good deep fruit. Tang and blue stuff. Intense and gnarly

Night one at Bern’s, from deep in their cellar. Nice bottle condition. Decanted and poured. Amber tawny, a little cloudy with clear rims. Opaque. Notes of sweet red fruit, cranberries, cedar desk, dusty earth. Like the 29 Lascombes, this started quietly but with air this firmed up nicely to have good structure and acidity that nicely matched the remaining fruit. Great finish.

Blast this app. sometimes! Can’t save anything. Warm and earthy soil, smoky graphite with cassis and black roses, grilled meats. Lovely mouthfeel and continued graphite with baked plum and tart blackberry, black and red cherry reduction, anise and espresso, tobacco and velvety depth.

Very soft and plush. Cherry and gentle orange rind. Subtle and delicious

Quiet on the nose at first but gradually unfurls. Poised plum notes with delicate roses and some inky, saline hints. Light, still fresh though clearly has agreed to resolution… quite haunting and focused. Pretty.
