  Very evolved all leather and cigar, not much fruit remaining. Drying out, won't last much longer. Structure is soft now. Drink up.

  Charming Margaux, with nice cask and tobacco nose, followed by a palate blending mature red fruit, caramel, fine leather, licorice and some herbal aromas. Medium bodied, this wine lacks intensity and complexity to convince in such a good vintage.

  Pleasant scent of forest floor, oak and cigar box. Very very smooth mouth feel lasting quite a while. Very good wine at peak I wou ld say. Onboard Queen Elizabeth with duck.

  Bought in 2005 - thought I might have waited too long but there’s still plenty of interest left. Only the lightest of sediment remained after decanting. Clear, mid weight colour, still quite youthful. Nose is classic left bank at c20 years. Palate still has a little fruit but also the earthy and woody flavours one might expect. Very enjoyable and plenty of stuffing to see it do quite well on day two as well.
