2022 vintage. Dark red, much deeper colour than usual for this estate. Marie-Laure Lurton seems to have gone for a bit more extraction in this exceptional vintage. More powerful than usual, with a fresh black fruit personality,embedded in a tight, ripe tannic structure. Serious length too. Decanting recommended,as it showed better the next day. Ab. 14%.

Fragrant! A good entry Margaux. Gravelly cassis black cherry.

Strong saffron scents overwhelm a passive mouthfeel that has heavy oak, green pepper, and dark fruits. Medium body and tannin. A wine that you must pair with food; perhaps Spanish? Definitely not a sipping wine.

Deep in color, savory nose. Dark cherries, tar, fine tannins. Quite good at this price point.

I think an excellent value. Complexity and typicity of margaux. Certainly a bit young but i think this could be great. Rspecially at $24
