  September 23, 2022 - Pop and pour into a decanter - 2-3 hours might have been preferable. In the glass, opaque, nearly black. On the nose, tobacco, currants, cedar, and a bit of damp earth. On the palate, leans more heavily into the tobacco, but there is enough cassis and plum to keep austerity in check, with mouth-drying tannins on the moderately long finish. If you haven't checked in on this wine, now would be a good time.

  June 14, 2020 - Consistent with prior notes. Very smoky, tobacco mid palate with a dry finish. Good wine, poor QPR. Moving up drinking window, as tannins fully resolved.

  October 15, 2019 - Un Margaux atypique, concentré, dense, luxuriant et séducteur...
  Bel équilibre cependant, il a de la fraicheur saline, du menthol, et une belle compléxité aromatique (cassis, cèdre, eucalyptus, tabac, cuir, épices, poivron finement grillé...), tandis qu'en bouche il se montre en volume, massif, d'une insolente jeunesse (sans bois excessif), avec des tanins polis mais bien présent. On est bel et bien à Bordeaux, sans aspérité, sans verdeur, sans astringence, dans une optique de concentration flatteuse qui réussit la gageure de ne pas fatiguer le palais et de vieillir de fort belle manière.

  December 11, 2017 - Fresh bottle in good shape. Rather thick and full bodied in the character of the 2003 vintage with complexities that linger between a high quality California Cabernet and a French Bordeaux. There is a bit of a fist packed inside the dark glove, and its clenching a big oak branch. However, the Margaux violets are very apparent and the saving grace of this wine. Otherwise, at around 100.00 its a definite high reach as far as QPR goes...Finally, the wine is vey well structured and has nothing but improvement ahead with all the beef inside. Hold
