Community Tasting Note

jdtonic Likes this wine:

Sunday, May 10, 2020 - From .750

The first from a new shipment: Delicious. Perfect Bottle.

A Knockout Bdx (à la Rive Gauche) Nose-- Flowers, Sweet Cedar, Strawberry, Cassis, Clay (Red), a bit of vanilla pipe tobacco there --- all lifted and poised. Approachable within 30 minutes, and if anything: her palate SURPASSES her Perfume.

Consistent notes; a SUPERB Margaux; cool spring water is harder to sip.

97-98+

Though this o5 is a Fruitier vint, she's at least as equally tannic as the 2000 Margaux at the same age. Ergo: wants two or three more dark years..

Ergo: 3-4 hours of slow air, or plus 90mins in a decanter.
Then, my friend, this wine will --like a fine Pinot-- improve any/all foods; I know of no food that improves 15-30 year old Chateau M from top vintages. I need to find more of the 2000, as do YOU, is the takeaway here!
