Drank after the 2018 La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou.
This was quite nice and fits ES7E2003, DBKITC, and JENSAGO's description. I still prefer D'Issan's style over this one but may buy this starting with 2022.

Blackberry, cassis, forest floor, tobacco and graphite. Medium plus intensity on the nose. Medium plus acidity and high tannins with a silky mouthfeel. Paired with bone in rib eye, mushrooms and spinach dip. Hold.

(at Ruth's Chris - Chicago) A wonderful wine that is obviously young but shows promise. With air, it is thoroughly enjoyable but really needs 10+ years. There is a wealth of both fruit and structure.Not particularly dense, but there is a lot going on including some oak that needs to be absorbed. A very good showing. Based on a few recent tastings, this Chateau is absolutely on the rise. (93+)

Tantalising young Margaux from Cantenac Brown! Dark, semi-translucent with violet reflections and fringes. Energetic, eclectic nose bringing dark ripe fruit - plums, blackberries, dark cherries - smoke, spice, hints of oak and vanilla. Palate is full-bodied (despite only 13.5%!) yet elegant, manifold throughout, mid-palate towards spice, bold concentration and smoke, fruit as per nose, well-integrated oak. Lengthy, velvety finish. Drinks v well already today, though will obviously benefit from further integration.
