6/4/2017 - Shoebox Likes this wine: 95 pointsVibrant purple colour. Good legs. Nose of coffee, tobacco. Elegant on the palate with good tannins but no harshness. Beautifully smooth. Layered and complex. Coffee again with lovely dark fruit. Good length. Will last a long time and may well improve. Beautiful. |

2/4/2023 - jonmartin1520 Likes this wine: 93 pointsTobacco and forest floor on the nose. Some dark fruit and baking spice with leather, cedar box flavors. Very good after a 2 hour decant. If I had any more bottles I would drink them soon. Probably slightly on the way down. Still very good though |

Packed with delicious, sweet red fruits and just "a point" right now. Reminded me a lot of an 82 Leoville Poyferre for sheer enjoyability. Just a great wine to enjoy right now. |

4/30/2016 - Bordeaux_Jon Likes this wine: 93 pointsI think my bottle was particularly well stored. To their credit, it was a recent purchase from Flickinger wines. Unlike, prior reviewers have noted, this bottle was not particularly evolved, but rather had a nose full of fresh red fruit - cherry, raspberry, and cassis. There were also floral notes and a loverly earthy undertone as well. I did not note much oak, brett, or other secondary notes. However, the nose had such a quintessential Margaux perfume! |

5/26/2022 - Decanting Queen wrote: 93 pointsNot sure I agree with all these notes to ‘drink up.’ All of our bottles were in good condition and drinking well, if anything could use more time. This was one of my favorite wines and drank perfectly with the beef Wellington pairing. Lest elegant than most Margaux but not in a bad way, just more robust. Also the gap between this ‘second wine’ and the Chateau Palmer’ seems to be getting smaller, especially if you take price into account. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

Lots of structure, depth - maybe the 98s are finally beginning to unfurl or maybe it's just one of those weird things about wine...where something looks better when compared to really good things... |

12/21/2011 - Nutty08 wrote: 92 pointsBdx and others (Bin 555): Expressive nose, subtle, with floral notes, and leather. Mature palate, with dried fruit flavors, and pipe tobacco that repeats on a lengthy finish of cassis and stone. Very accessible and mature. Showing quite well but seemingly more mature than expected. Representative bottle? |

3/4/2012 - Paul S wrote: 92 pointsImpromptu Bordeaux on a Sunday Afternoon (HM's place): This was very impressive for a second label. It had a nice nose of plums and black cherries flecked with earth, spice and tobacco aromas. Somewhat straddling the left and right banks I thought, with a nice little nod to the abundance of Merlot in the blend. The palate was very elegant, with a fresh, lively feel and fine bone structure underlying its cassis and black fruited flavours. It was very clean, slightly lighter styled than the Grand Vin, but very pleasing in its own way. The merlot showed up in the finish once more, with lots of spice notes playing on an earthy background. Still young, with hints of fine tannin peppering the palate, but this was very drinkable even now. For best effects, I would wait a couple more years before popping one of these. |
