  Powerful smoky nose and palate. More savory, smoky that fruity. Excellent structure and length and balance. Fully mature but should hold 10+ yrs. This is masculine for a Margaux imo.

  Cork failed, totally saturated with wine. Despite this, aroma was heavenly berries exploding out of the glass. The palate was muted but still sound with a hint of tobacco. I’ve found that if the cork holds, the wine holds for most very old CA first growths.

  Muted nose right now. Muted palate. Some structural elements though: medium plus tannin, medium plus cleansing acidity. Fruit is lean at the moment. I wouldn’t try this for another 4+ yrs. Oops! Too young.
