  I've had a couple 2012s recently from the right bank and have found them compelling.
  This wine from Margaux was very tannic and grudging at the outset.
  My immediate concern, of course: Uncorked too prematurely, too young.
  Certainly everything on the nose, the color, spoke of a youthful effort.
  If you just looked at this wine visually, you would not be able to tell whether it was out of the barrel or a decade old.
  But... ah, like a true Bordeaux, this heretofore tannic specimen evolved into a floral, complex, beautiful Margaux.
  Still very youthful.
  Rating 94 points.

  At under $60 per that I paid, these are a great value.
