Decanted 3h before drinking. Medium nose, nice acidity and berry fruits on the palate. Not what I consider a typical Margaux, but still very enjoyable. No signs of age, but bot much power. Longer decanting time is warranted! medium finish.

Decanted directly before drinking. slightly red color with hints of brown. Little nose. From nose to finish a very elegant experience. Light bodied, but an extreme harmony, well balanced. Long finish. No signs of age, nor of youth. Drink now... but it will probably also last for 10-20 years. Nice label with the Picasso painting.

decanted 3h before drinking. Dark ruby color, nice fruity bouquet with berries some notes of tobacco. On the palate an intense mix of compote fruits, plums and some berries. Very concentrated and full bodied. On finish, strong tannins and non non-integrated acidity. Also the last sips at 4h after decanting showed these symptoms of youth. Too young for now, great expectations from 2028 on. Or decant well before drinking.
