Coravin'd a glass a few nights ago, pulled the cork tonite. Muted, earthy nose. One dimensional approach and simple finish. Certainly drinkable and a good value for $22, if immemorable. Was better earlier on, softened too much for my taste after 3 hrs of air

Decanted for 3 hours. Ruby-violet color. Floral and fruity nose with some spice. Notes of blackberry, cassis, iris, graphite, baking spices, peppercorn. Not as rich as I expected on the palate. The tannins are very silky and the acidity is very lush, but present. Lots of black fruit with a mineral driven attack. Notes of black cherry, plum, cassis, and graphite. Cacao powder and cedar comes in the mid palate and finishes on a floral note. Very elegant and affordable Margaux. Fantastic QPR.

Fresh, bright, forward wine with a lean to its tobacco, red currants, mocha and spicy side. The wine is medium-bodied, energetic and floral with ample, juicy red fruits and savory herbs on the palate and in the finish. This is a solid value wine from the Margaux appellation. Drink from 2023-2036.

89-90 vvPunkte Noble, zurückhaltende Nase, florale Töne, Kiesel, Brombeere und Cassis. Im Gaumen gradlinig, frisch, knackige Frucht, hat Druck aber Finesse, wirkt sehr balanciert, mit qualitativ sehr guten Gerbstoffen und einem langen, feinwürzigen Abgang mit floralen Retroaromen. Ein sehr schöner Margaux. 2025-2040 (April/Mai 2021)

Fresh, soft, sweet and pure, the wine is medium-bodied, energetic and floral with ample, juicy red fruits and savory herbs on the palate and in the finish. This shows fabulous Margaux character and it sells for a song. This is a solid value wine from the Margaux appellation. 89-91

Soft flavors and tannins. Medium body. Went great with a pork, prune, and pistachio dish.
