  Restaurant purchase. Gave it about 30 min in the decanter before we drank over 90 min. Drinking very nicely now, lighter than most Bdx but still some body and texture to it. Nice fruit forward nose and palate. Great with a steak dinner

  Decanted and served at 15C.Dark ruby. Intense nose with violets, ripe cherries, some black fruits and sweet spice. Palate is full of sweet cherries, blackberries, cassis, some pencil shavings, milk chocolate and mineral note. Medium-light body, understated acidity and silky tannins. It’s quite light altogether and not very complex but the wine is charming and feminine as Margaux often described.
  Drink now-2025.
  Day 2 (vacuum corked in fridge). Not as good as yesterday, fruit is not so vivid, milk chocolate is faded away and some garrigue/bitterness arises. So drink up!
  * I scored it 90 initially, 93 was accidental scale sliding.
