Community Tasting Note

NarunP Likes this wine:

Wednesday, September 12, 2018 - 77 CS, 23 M, raised in 50% new barrel.

More complex and reserved aromatics than 2014 Blason d'Issan tasted next to it. Violet, lavender, potpurri, sous bois. Classic Margaux intoxication.

Less angular structure but definitely present. Med to med plus tannin, med acidity, med body (13.24 abv). Fresh, slightly tart black berry fruit. Subtle minerality. Elegance. No excess. Some fungi and wet log. Pencil lead. Some fresh Italian herb.

This is a great Margaux in the making. One of the highest proportion of Cab in the history of the estate. This will take time to come together though. I would not touch it until its 10th birthday and start to enjoy the unleashing of its upside by 2030. 91++
