  The 1995s are finally becoming approachable after all this time. Secondary notes on the nose and a restrained but balanced palate. Has some depth.

  Has softened up very nicely, leaving primary and entering secondary territory. A somewhat muted but enjoyable Bdx

  The nose was downright funky to begin with. Blew off rather quickly. Opted for a decant to see how it evolved. There was a moment of pleasure initially but you had to dig for it. Sour cherry, woody, prune, raisin, it’s just done in my opinion. A great chateau making excellent wines, this one is past its day.

  Decanted for roughtly 45 mins at Lure. Dark ruby color, didn't detect much bricking. Nose of black fruit, tobacco, cedar, and leather. Medium-bodied, elegant, soft and silky on the palate. Plenty of back fruit, but also noticeable tertiary notes of mushrooms, leather, tobacco, herbs, spice and pepper. Good acidity level, wonderful complexity and depth. Soft tannins, mostly resolved. Wonderfully long, earthy, enjoyable finish. Very feminine, elegant Margaux. Wish I had more!

  Fruits sucrés, bois. En bouche tout en rondeur, note de poivrons et cuir. Tres élégant, belle finesse. À boire sans tarder.
