  1995 vs 1996 comparison. Didn't greatly care for either to be honest. The '96 was a bit more balanced in terms of structure since it didn't have the fierce 1995 tannins, but the nose was a bit feeble. The whole thing felt rather flat- at least the '95 is interesting..

  Nicely matured Margaux, which is reaching the end of its drinking window, but still enjoyable. Well matures black currant, subtle oak, tobacco, sous-bois. Medium bodied, not overly complex, but well structured.

  Badum Tsss! Another '90s Bordeaux that is still singing, pretty much loud and clear! Perfect fill-level and lovely vibrant but ripened colour.
  
  In the nose mostly red fruit, currant, cherry. Secondary aroma's of toasted cask. Also some leather and earth.
  
  In the taste this "older gentleman" offers ripened red fruit, very well balanced acidity and fruitiness. The slightest hint of vanilla which to me is very likeable, gives it a fuller body. Tannins still noticeable but very much integrated. Medium length finish.

  Fantastic margaux. Aged, noble , subtle and velvety length. Bravo. Not sure i expected this, but a testament to Bordeaux. Aged.
