Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity.
Showing red and black fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.
This 8 year old is drinking nicely now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Nicely balanced with nice complexity. Smooth and entertaining.
I had this vintage 5 years ago and it is drinking better now.
Good by itself or with food.
A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot. Aged in (40% new) French oak barrels for 12 months.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$25.

Surprisingly good value. Not the most complex, but an enjoyable (albeit young) Margaux.

Young but more complex than similar aged. Great with cheeses, spicy chicken, and Christmas cookies! 😬

Very soft and plush with great depth and richness from an excellent vintage. Plummy and earthy at the same time. Really good bargain at $20.

A modern style Bordeaux from Margaux, one of my favorite AOC in the region. A crime to drink this modern blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 55%, Merlot 40%, Petit Verdot 5%, so young.
Well crafted modern in style, deep red color almost black, full of black current, plums, blur berries, Caesar wood, dust, soil, coffee and plums, medium to full body, with well integrated tannins and lovely supportive acidity. My score 87, drink 2016-2025, score might improve over time as there is potential
