Needs about 1 hr in decanter and then ready to go. Modern styled Bordeaux with bigger legs and dark fruit: blackberries, blueberries, tobacco, coffee, chocolate, and tar on the nose, palate smoothened after decant, similar dark fruit, licorice, tobacco and chocolate on the palate with slightly edgy tannins, however balanced and decadent. Medium slightly bitter finish. Good wine.

Very good Margaux. Open for business after a hour decant. Good dark color, lovely bouquet plums, leather and pencil shavings. Full body and mouthfeel, setting quite a muscular tone. Lush ripe fruit, blackberry, coffee and spice underpinned with a veneer of oak. Long finish with smooth tannins. Modern’ish style and I’m not sure how it’s going to evolve so I would be tempted to drink up over the next few years.
