Still a very youthful ruby-purple color. Cassis, coffee, forest floor and crushed rocks on the nose. On the palate, medium- to full-bodied with plum, mocha, red currant and chewy tannins. Rather rugged and inelegant for a Margaux, but drinking well now and likely to hold for another 5-10 years.

Monthly tasting club "The Tasting Club"; Better Bordeaux of 15+ years old (@ My place): Mature bouquet, autumn impressions, coffee, chocolate and truffle. On the palate red and dark berries, coffee, firm and juicy acidity, slightly sticky tannin and also mature. Not everyone was enthusiastic about this wine. For me nevertheless a score of 88 points.

Decant and drink. This was better than the last bottle. Nice secondary aromas and flavors (that I can't remember from last week), and a nice finish. Classic Margaux.

Drunk from Magnum, was on the downside for me. The fruit almost gone and tanins were edgy. Drinkable but not much.

Third of three bottles was a dud...lots of bottle variation in the three I had over the last year.
