  I agree with the positive notes on this wine below. Drinking beautifully now. Warm cedary notes with a good core of fruit backed by a good dose of acidity and velvety tannins on the finish. I can see the wine staying on this plateau for 5 - 10 years.

  Black fruit and dark chocolate on the nose. The tannins are still present but are not obtrusive. Good acidity and flavors. Seems like this is just coming together. A clear improvement compared to the last bottle tasted 3 years ago. Still a bit too young in my opinion. Decanted for 2 hours.

  A classic and very elegant expression of a younger Margaux that is in a prime drinking window. Very open, highly aromatic Margaux nose with cassis, violets and a hint of dried flowers. Round and silky on the palate with some tannins in reserve. Rich and delicate at the same time. Medium+ bodied with medium acidity. Long and intense finish. Decanted for 2 hours. Very well liked by everybody at the table.
