Monthly Tasting Group HWS #084; Margaux (By RG): The color shows some evolution and is fairly light. In the bouquet good ripe fruits like cassis. Also some leather and oak. On the palate leather again, cassis, firm bell pepper, herbal and also some creaminess. Good acidity and drying tannin and bitterness. Overall a good wine, but the vintage is showing due to the lack of concentration.

The Sampler Spring Tasting 2013 (Islington): High-toned red fruit with feint balsamic notes. Savoury palate with a little dark fruit and leather. Quite a dry finish. Good. 16.5/20.

Decanted for 3 hours... Was quite tasty, and kept getting better throughout the night. Would recommend.
