2019 Vintage - This may not be a compliment but this reminds me of Mouton -Cadet of 20 years ago ( this is a wine under $20 for 1/2 bottle) currants / herbal ( some greeness) earthy med to light bodied

Fabulous and undervalued 2004 Margaux - it's a baby brother wine. But like many baby brothers, mine included, it stands on its own two feet!

Not our style. No off notes but thin with little fruit and very dry. The flavors are not particularly pleasing to me. To make it worse it is very expensive even on sale for $15 for a half bottle.

Black cherry, cassis, some baking spices, with a fresh, elegant finish. (More expressive on the palette that the nose led me to believe!)

Restrained bouquet. But elegant on the palate. Cassis, other black fruits, subtle spicy notes. Fine grained tannin. Medium acidity. Pleasant finish with a hint of cedar wood, smoke, anise, and nutmeg. Ready now.

Un bon margaux, a garder plus longtemps le 2016 aurait facilement été bon en 2027-2030+.

A very nice baby Margaux with characteristic graphite and minerality. Worth considering as an everyday drinker.
