February 21, 2024 - The 95 Margaux is a wine I have come across numerous times but I have never liked it. Its no exception tonight. The wine was tannic and medicinal. It certainly lacked the first growth charm.

February 2, 2024 - Bordeaux first-growth lunch: Didn't realise I had this wine before but similar impressions to before. Elegant and classy without hitting fifth gear. Had a slightly distracting iron note (but wasn't as bad as the '79 HB).

December 27, 2023 - This Margaux, in common with so many '95s remains something of an enigma. Tasted 3 hours after decanting, it is still very dark with barely a hint of copper at the edge. After 5 hours, interestingly earthy fruit emerged from the tannin, not highly concentrated but it is encouraging that tears are very prominent. I sense this could emerge as a great wine in the style typifying the 1960s & 70s if the fruit holds up to the tannin, which is notably softer than 6 years ago. 10 years from now, I guess we will know one way or the other.

December 2, 2023 - Decanted for 1.5hrs. Slightly disappointed when drinking. Margaux has been one of my favorite Boredaux producers due to its very balanced and notable nose/taste. This particular bottle was not bad in any way; but it just lacks that "click" when drinking it.
