July 14, 2019 - My favorite Chateau in Bordeaux. I really wanted to be able to score this wine higher, and thought it was on track with that fantastic Margaux nose, but this bottle fell slightly short in the palate. Still smooth and delicious, but showed signs of its age at times. Still a very elegant wine, and was drinking well. However, if this bottle is representative of this estate's bottling for 1993, I would drink sooner rather than later. It definitely has the stuffing to keep for a while longer, but I don't see it improving. Nose was classic perfumed violets and lavender, with sweet black and red fruit. Wine was medium to full bodied with silky tannins and well integrated fruit (currant, plum and blackberries) with charcoal, lead, and hints of dark chocolate. A great effort and wine, but not as good as some of their other vintages. Also, this wine had some very stiff competition tonight.
