  Lovely, enough fruit. Needs a long time to breathe though before the fruit shows at its best. Handles spicey foods well.

  I’m perhaps a bit less enthused on this wine than most of the other reviewers. It’s good, but definitely not great, and I don’t think it will evolve (for the better) much from here on. The wine shows a nice mature color with consistent bricking throughout. On the nose you get some telltale Bordeaux scents of asphalt, tobacco, and wood smoke. On the palate, the wine still had decent tannins but was a little too high on the acidity front for my liking, and had little fruit development - so it’s a touch one-sided. We drank decanted and the nose continued show nicely on the austere side with some iron and cedar peaking out, but still little fruit. For the price, it’s a nice deal.

  Starting to come around. Masculine for a Margaux, saddle, tobacco, menthol and a bit of funk. If you like that BDX profile you'll enjoy this wine.
  
  Didn't decant, popped and poured an hour later.

  Excellent wine. A lovely Margaux nose. A lot of fruit and comcentartion, reflecting the vintage. Silky and complex on the palate. Fully ready to drink. This exceeded my expectations.

  充满活力的黑醋栗果味，甘草、香草、薄荷、皮革，香气年轻且富有典型性。酸度和已经开始柔顺的单宁维持了脆弱的平衡，而这种所有元素都要展现到极致才能达成的微妙均势，恰恰代表了整款酒已经进入了巅峰状态。
