Perfekt nå - plenty av Margaux-markører, tertiæraromaer og bra med dybde.

First of six purchased en premier and stored well . Showing Very nicely with two hours of air. There were moderate amounts of sediment so I double decanted. Rich primary fruit is still there at almost 2 decades and still has a tannic grip.

very enjoyable noy but can go longer

From magnum. Doubled decanted 5 hours before service. Opaque red with little color loss. Black fruits with a lot of tannins. Many years of great drinking ahead.

A bit disappointed with this. Have a case of 12 and the cork in every bottle so far has been bone dry and split on removal. Was in paid storage since purchase and laid flat since delivery to me. Obviously poor storage, which impacts on the whole experience.

Decanted and drank over two days. Black fruit and tar, some alcohol burn on the nose. On the palate, medium heavy body, dark compote, medium tannin, not nuanced in the least. Medium compote finish with a slight edge. For a 2010 Margaux, I was hoping for something more than was delivered. Perhaps this will evolve into something with an interesting twist, but at this point, I find it a medium heavy roundish wine without character. If you have some, wait, if you're considering buying a lot, try one out first.

Decanted for an hour, this bottle was absolutely "correct" unlike our last. Creme de cassis, blackberry, loam, graphite, cigar and toast notes. You get the "place"! That's what I ask. If you only have a couple, wait until late 2025 to try (my next then!).

Deep ruby color. Deep black fruits on the nose, blackberry, blackcurrant, hints of tobacco and vanilla. Very dry on the palate, medium bodied and intense with some pencil lead notes as well.

1/4/2022 - Jake Barnes Likes this wine: 91 points

Unbalanced and disjointed on day one, but fully approachable with very good balance after being vacuumed and refrigerated for 24 hours. Red fruit, oak, and roses on the nose; red currants, raspberries, and cedar on the medium-bodied, silky palate full of soft tannins and oak. A very accessible, elegant wine with a lingering and satisfying finish.

This is one of those producers that stumps me. The wines are not especially expensive on release, but then they’re not exactly cheap, either, and good back vintages rapidly climb in price. And yet, judging by CT notes, no one really seems to love this producer—ever. The same seems to be true of Calon Segur. I really don’t get it.

Make no mistake, this is a solid, very well made, and enjoyable wine, but I don’t think it’s good QPR at the full US retail price of about $55/bottle. When purchased on sale for $40, as this was, it’s a bit better, if still not great QPR or especially compelling. Except for it’s early accessibility, I’m not sure this really has a lot going for it given the price. 13.5% ABV (very good/***/16.5/91)

Thinned out and lacking concentration. This bottle would have been better five years ago. All makings of a classic Margaux are there, but the makings are tired. I suspect this would be a strong 91 at the right time. Still has some charm...

There's something to learn from this, but you better start learning now. Drink up!

Sadly, this was slightly maderized. I want to leave myself a note so that I can try again because I definitely will. The wine under the damage was full, muscular, and very energetic. Im sure there is something special in the good bottles. Try again!

92 now and probably 93-94 with more age.. I would maybe air this out at least an hour before drinking. Maybe I'll open another 2015 in 2-3 years

Popped and poured at cellar temp. Very lovely dark purple color with just a hint of lightening at the rim. Violets, truffles and a bit of cigar on an intoxicating nose. Palate does not quite match the intensity of the nose - nice elegant structure, some black fruit and acid, but seems a bit closed down or quite restrained. Going to throw it in the decanter to see if it opens up by dinner time.

230324: Celebrating DQ's Bday at Uovo Asador with immacutely curated menu & wines by bday boy himself. Bottle TB from SKT. Thought this was the most matured tonight - plenty of tertiary notes. Ripe dark fruits, forest floor, roasted bell pepper, accompanied by nuances of cedar, tobacco, & a touch of earthiness. Well integrated tannins with velvety texture & mouthfeel. My guess was a 20 yrs old pauillac, either a GPL or Clerc Milon

Soft, supple, round, forward, medium-bodied, and floral, you also find with little effort, sweet, red cherries, espresso, and a delicate hint of spice in the nose and on the rounded, lighter-styled, fresh palate. You can enjoy this almost on release. Drink from 2025-2040.

PNP into decanter. Needed more time in the decanter than we gave it. Black fruits, flowers, cedar and graphite on the nose. Concentrated dark fruits and some earth with plenty of tannins and a slightly dry finish. I will give the next bottle at least a 2 hour decant. Still young. 92 points

Rubinrot. Der Duft erinnert an blonden Tabak, Süssholz, dahinter Kirschen und Cassis. Im Auftakt weich und mild, leicht cremige Textur, wird im mittleren Gaumen straffer, schlanker, hat einen leichten bis mittelkräftigen Körper und eine lebhafte Säure, keinerlei Überextraktion, mit Fingerspitzengefühl vinifiziert. Elegant, rotfruchtig, mit mittlerer Länge. 2025-2038+ (Verkostet im November 2023 in Zürich bei UGCB)
