  February 8, 2024 - Very perfumed. Tobacco, cedar, red fruit. Red currant, blackberry, plum, kind of smokey. Very long finish. Round and smooth. Great to drink now!

  January 27, 2024 - [tasted blind, i guessed ~20-years' age… wasn't sure on AOC beyond "left-bank"]
  
  dark garnet with a bit of bricking at the rim and medium body. lovely mature bouquet with cedar, spice, cassis and hints of red fruit and potpourri perfectly integrated. equally integrated in the mouth, with rich compote-like layered fruit melding harmoniously with tobacco, sweet spice, and soft coal notes. there is a balsamic quality that gives the wine an umami twist; good acidic lift brightens the fruit at times, and tannins are well integrated. very very long.
  
  with perfect storage, this bottle was showing remarkably well and was a lovely example of aged Margaux. similar bottles should have a handful of years still.
  
  warm vintage 60% CS/ 40% ME; aged twelve to fifteen months in 50% new oak.

  December 28, 2023 - Drank for Christmas eve, lovely bottle of Margaux, sweet fruit, tannins are well integrated, blond tobacco, pencil shavings and good length. In a very nice spot currently.

  December 17, 2023 - Really beautiful and fully mature now with much staying power. Bright acidity is keeping things moving slowly and providing allot of runway for this to lift some more. Here we have earth, tobacco, some really well melted deep floral elements and a bright zippy long finish. Really fresh finish for the nose, flavors, and age. Firm long finish. Drink or believe it or not, even hold. Seems to have a gear or 2 left in it.
