June 7, 2013 - A very good second wine for a Chateau that has been improving quite well over the past decade or so. This claret swirls up some exotic asian tropical fruits along with muddled cassis and delineated wild black cherry infused blackberry liquor, cigar box, subtle white pepper, and very subtle fresh mint, white chocolate/vanillin and some floral notes (in descending order by intensity). Medium bodied on the palate it has a creamy, medium bodied mouthfeel that is more or less spot on with the aromatics, along with a great dose of acidity (more than a typical 09, but this wine screams 2009 bordeaux). The tannin is very well integrated (oak included).
Its not a blockbuster by any means, but a very solid and impressive wine that could be picked up under 40 retail. If you are a big Margaux fan, stock up and drink now until 2020+1 person found this helpful 4,151 views
