January 28, 2019 - Really nice boutique Margaux in a Margaux vintage, yet it seems this chateau will keep squeaking by under the radar. This one's got significantly more personality than most of the appellation's classified growths (the words "commercial style" or some variant appear in like a half dozen of my 2015 Margaux TNs) though with the fruit dialed back from saturation levels into a more classic red currant and fresh orchard fruit base that leaves enough negative space in its medium-bodied frame to highlight the non-fruit elements, in this case a powerful mineral sensation of metal shavings and pencil lead. Though the fruit isn't heavy it has enough youthful energy at this point to balance out the muscular tannin, although there's enough of that there to make this a likely candidate to close up.
