  May 7, 2017 - Still some freshness, red fruit, evolving into some mature meaty notes. Drink soon.

  December 13, 2014 - Great value Margaux. Subdued brambly fruit, savoury notes. Won't improve from here but lovely long warm finish.

  February 25, 2010 - Elegant with red fruit , balanced acid and smooth tannins .
  A medium bodied wine that is drinking very nicely.
  Perhaps this one is "just" over its flavor apex but still high on the curve.

  February 24, 2010 - Initially vanilla and cigar box stand out on the nose, with red fruit and lingering tannins on the palate, and fresh acidity on the finish. After letting it sit in the glass for a while, raspberries emerge strongly in combination with cinnamon. The finish goes on and on. There's much more to this bottle than to the 1998 Marbuzet we tasted a few days ago. The oak, fruit, tannins, and acidity are all wonderfully balanced, making this one of my favorites these days.

  January 27, 2010 - Medium/deep ruby core, medium pale ruby rim. Attractive perfumed cassis nose, slightly gravelly fruit with hints of cedar and chocolate. Medium bodied, more sweet cassis fruit but also initially some slightly off-putting cardboardy notes on initial attack, these clear on mid-palate to leave an attractive medium weight claret with sweet cassis fruit, some rich earth, fine tannins and then bright acidity carrying a good length sweet fruited finish. Cardboardy notes not noticeable after an hour or so. Very good indeed, drinking well now but no hurry. 12.5%ABV
