Wednesday, February 28, 2024 - Brought with us to Seared 1200 steakhouse in St. Pete Beach, so this did not get a lengthy decanting. A very attractive, semi-opaque magenta in color - right up to the edge. The nose on this was just fabulous. Very pretty and captivating scents of flowers, earth and cedar fill the glass. Extremely elegant in texture and weight. Offers a delicious combination of tangy plum and dark currant fruit, deftly matched to a moderate acidity. There’s good depth to the mid-palate. Complex notes of iron, mineral and coffee grace the long, polished finish. The dusty tannins are integrating nicely. Poised, well-balanced and delicious. This is a charming, textbook Margaux with a distinctly old-school feel.
