  Purchased at the Chateau in 2012 (although there isn't a Chateau on site) during a day tour of Margaux and stored in my wine fridge. Not decanted, but I did use a Vinturi wine aerator to open it up. Nice garnet colour and aromatic nose but not powerful, cherry and licorice. Smooth palate, tannins have faded away, with some fruit there again cherry, red fruits and a hint of smoke. A longish finish. Overall a delightful well balanced wine that has stood, for this Cru Bourgeois, the test of time well.

  Bottle opened an hour before consumption, but did not decant.
  Overpowering leather on the nose. Didn't give much away in the mouth. Some tannis, but found it too acidic.
  Medium body. Long'ish finish. Overpriced at €20.
