August 24, 2023 - Pulled the cork on the bottle accessed by Coravin in February.
An excellent Margaux in a challenging vintage. Appealing and suave perfume. Supple and elegant textures, judicious extraction, oak not fully integrated...but it well, seamless alcohol.
It should evolve for at least five to seven years and hold through 2035+. Solid QPR.3 people found this helpful Comment -

May 7, 2023 - Admittedly this is a night 2 note, only having had half a glass on night 1. Dark fruits on the nose; I'm getting plum, black currant, and some berry notes from the acidity that brings some brightness. On the palate there is tabacco, Cedar, decent fruit, but not jammy at all. Medium body, medium tannin, medium plus finish, medium plus alcohol at the moment. Acidity makes this a very nice food wine. Enjoyed this with a burger and it enhanced both palate experiences. An acidic Bordeaux is good with beef; SHOCKER.

February 16, 2023 - Coravin access.
Allowed to breathe. Very pretty bouquet of equal part red and purple berries, floral notes, and fine terroir markers. Medium body, elegant substance, refined. Serious acid, velvety tannin. Oak integrating well. It showed very well next to the same vintage Cantemerle and Montrose. 91-92.2 people found this helpful Comment
