Tuesday, April 7, 2020 - Coming after the PC 03, this was like a colour photo compared to black and white. The aromas were zinging all over the place - blackcurrants, spring flowers, raspberries, wet stone, pencil shavings, a bit of earth, then back to the blackcurrants. Amazing stuff, one of the most expressive bouquets for months. The taste is along similar lines - red cherry at first, then blackcurrant, then a bit of blackberry, then it zooms off to the four corners of the palate in the middle section with added redcurrant and raspberry, like a starburst, but without ever losing control - this is no Rolland creation - the sweetness of the fruit, still quite primary, is tempered by the dusty Margaux elegance and poise. As for the finish, it's quintessentially Margaux. La classe!
