Saturday, January 8, 2011 - 2004 Margaux horizontal (Toast Bistro, San Antonio, TX): Fragrant nose, with a touch of VA and dark plumy fruit. Palate was fuller bodied, with currants and plenty of toasty oak influence. Fine acidity and chewy tannins. Mocha, smoke and toast with dried fruits on the medium length finish. Quite modern. This bottle later on turned much more plum-like with the tannins becoming more prominent. A nice right bank in a modern style that should still improve. Everyone recognized as a ringer I believe, I was leaning towards this being my Pape-Clement rather than right bank, but in retrospect the cab franc is more obvious.
