  Brighter red cherry with some purple-black fruit kick off the straight-shot profile of the 2019 Margaux. To no one’s surprise, this is about as primary and linear as it gets in its current state. The classical characteristics here surely make for an age-worthy wine, and one that will require a ton of patience before it will start giving up the real goods. Ultra pure. Ultra clean. Mega linear.
  
  This is one of those “awesome potential wines,” and one that will be best in 15-20 years I’m sure. Compared to other 2019 BDXs I’ve been tearing through, this Margaux is going to be more of a stubborn bumpkin in its youth. 96++ with the potential to rocket into a perfect score one day… or maybe two……..
  
  Try again when autonomous cars actually work.

  Very elegant. Super classy. Comes off with a light touch, like gliding across the floor on tinker bell wings if you can imagine. Expressive on the nose.

  Eyes Wide Shut - Day 1 (A quiet place): Nose: Light and fresh red fruits. Class and elegance shows beautifully. White and soft red flowers accompany the fruits, providing additional grace. Clean earth here accompanied by fresh, gentle undergrowth.
  
  Palate: Great elegance on the palate as well, just like the nose. Fresh red fruits, clean minerals, light graphite and airy forest notes. A light coating of graphite to keep things tidy and serious, without completely coating the fruits.
  
  Amazing pristine purity to everything at the moment. Gotta love 'em young.

  Rustic bouquet, leaning toward Saint-Julien. Blackcurrant, Crème de cassis, blackberry, herbs, and graphite standout. Restrained and intriguing.
  
  All elements, however restrained, toy with the senses. The wine has begun to lock down, as have other quality Left Bank offerings of this vintage. This noted, the wine does not overtly offer the layers one might expect of a highly touted (by some professional wine marketers) First Growth. Conversely, its compactness and precision suggest it will enjoy a three decade maturation curve. In this context, noteworthy improvement seems possible. 95-96...97.
