Had with Christmas dinner. While probably past it's peak, extremely nice overall. Initially a touch closed, but opened up quickly. Modest red fruit nose, nice fruit balanced by structure and mushroom on the palate. Very good Bordeaux example even if a few years past its prime

Intense red with medium legs. Aromas of chocolate, plum, underlying cedar note, with raspberry. Delicate layers of aroma rather than over the top. Taste of nice firm plum, cranberry, cassis, with underlying chocolate notes. Structure of firm tannins, nicely coating your mouth, mostly hitting the front palate. Medium to medium-long finish.

Tight and not quite ready. Or needs a longer decant

Good Bordeaux. Needs about an hour's decandting to come into it's own, but it's an enjoyable, if typical Margaux.
