  [Tasted Double Blind] This pours medium ruby in the glass, no bricking. The nose is just gorgeous classic Bordeaux showing leather, tobacco, pencil shavings, sweet cedar, celery seed, clay, dark chocolate, light roast coffee, and dark cherry. You just don't want your nose to leave the glass. The palate enters on suave and silky black currant and dark cherry. Tannin is medium and fairly integrated with medium plus acid. The finish closes nicely, medium plus in length replaying much of the nose. I guessed this was a 1995 classified growth from the Northern Medoc. Off a little on age and appellation but not bad. This spoke to a level of integration and peak maturity that I would associate with something a tad older and more expensive. A testament to this aging gracefully.

  A pristine bottle - perfect fill, perfect cork. Lovely nose again, full of damson plums and rosehip, amid the red cherry and blackcurrant. The attack is fresh and almost primary, amazingly youthful, with ripe blackberry again, before the red fruits kick in, especially the red cherry, but the plums are prominent in the mix too. It's just a really tasty wine.
  Not the gravitas of the best, but a great example of Dauzac and a very good example of Margaux in 2000.

  My last bottle left a good impression. A good 20 years of almost linear development this Margaux has kept its charm over the past 5 years. Fully matured, enjoyable, with a feminine Margaux touch, toffee, cocoa, roast, plum and tea aromas. Drink now and over the next 3 years.

  Wonderful nose of earth, tar, leather, mild herbaceous notes, perhaps a currant/dark cherry. Nice structure to the tannins and balanced acidity. There’s a touch of an alcohol note as well. Really lovely wine drinking at what we consider to be peak. Clearly life left in the tank but singing at the moment.

  Bright medium ruby with zero color degradadation. Smoky bbq, strawberry kolache, and sweet raspberries on the nose. Sweet raspberries dominate along with a hint of BBQ, and a delicacy that borders on Burgundian. Super delicious with a finish that extends the deliciousness forever.
