(Château Margaux) Very dark red violet color; big black fruit, menthol nose; tasty, concentrated, tart black fruit, cigar box, charcoal palate; medium-plus finish (more ripe Graves-like to me than a typical Margaux, but still delicious)

The 95 Margaux is a wine I have come across numerous times but I have never liked it. Its no exception tonight. The wine was tannic and medicinal. It certainly lacked the first growth charm.

Bordeaux first-growth lunch: Didn't realise I had this wine before but similar impressions to before. Elegant and classy without hitting fifth gear. Had a slightly distracting iron note (but wasn't as bad as the '79 HB).

This Margaux, in common with so many '95s remains something of an enigma. Tasted 3 hours after decanting, it is still very dark with barely a hint of copper at the edge. After 5 hours, interestingly earthy fruit emerged from the tannin, not highly concentrated but it is encouraging that tears are very prominent. I sense this could emerge as a great wine in the style typifying the 1960s & 70s if the fruit holds up to the tannin, which is notably softer than 6 years ago. 10 years from now, I guess we will know one way or the other.

Decanted for 1.5hrs. Slightly disappointed when drinking. Margaux has been one of my favorite Boredaux producers due to its very balanced and notable nose/taste. This particular bottle was not bad in any way; but it just lacks that "click" when drinking it.
