Last bottle of 10. Surprisingly young red fruit on open. Decanted about 6 hours by the time it was consumed. No new notes to add to the community, but I did enjoy the wine. It did go against an '04 Leoville Barton at dinner which was enjoyed more. Onward. M

Last bottle of this. Still pretty delicious. It's light and lively with a lot of the fruit other notes have called out. There definitely is a toasted oak finish. Given all the above, this wine can definite go a few more year. For all the CT peeps who still have this wine, hold for a fun occasion. Cheers.

I know this is early, but I wanted to try it as I only have 1 bottle. Decanted for 2 hours. Great bottle of wine. I don't drink a lot of Margaux and this was pleasantly surprising for me. Tons of soil in the mid palate and the fruit was very present also. Shared blind with my somm buddy called out 'sneaky oak' after tried the wine with food. I thought that was a good comment as there is a lot of tannin at the end is probably masking the oak. If you have a few bottles of this, I think it's fun to try it a bit early and assess the wine. I liked it and just purchased some more tonight.
I'll go with the crowd on the rating. 93. Cheers.
