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!

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.

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!)

Ok. I'm officially excited about visiting Margaux next March! Rich. Smooth. Spicy. Cab Sauvignon. Merlot. Cab franc. Delicious.

Having this 1996 in 2926 just for the heck of it on Memorial Day with a grilled ribeye and rosemary. Potatoes, it’s still surprisingly alive with deep leather, some hint of Bret, and plums and dark berries. Tastes like one of the first aged Bordeaux I ever had many years ago, not sublime but funkily pleasant

Feel like perfect maturity,ten years old. Fruity with complex maturity flavours. Very enjoyable with a tournedo file with bearnaise sauce.
