Tuesday, January 4, 2022 - Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of deep ruby colour, with fading rim and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of black fruit of blackberry, bilberry and dark plum, oak notes of toast, kernel notes of coffee, mineral notes of earth, pungent spice of black pepper, maturity notes of graphite. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium acidity, medium (+) tannin of ripe and velvety texture, medium alcohol and medium (+) body, with medium (+) intensity flavours of black fruit of blackberry and dark plum, kernel notes of chocolate, mineral notes of earth, sweet spice of clove. The wine has a medium finish.
Conclusion: Very good quality Margaux with an intense nose showing very good complexity, with plenty of black fruit, toast, coffee, supplemented with peppery spice and earth, plus some evolving minerality and graphite. The palate is well-structured, balanced with good tannin and robust, showing good concentration of flavours. The length is a bit shorter than I would hope though. It is ready to drink now and can further develop for another 3-5 years.
