  A pleasant surprise! Still plenty of fruit despite its age. Blackcurrant, cherry and raspberry bolstered by smoke, leather, rustic funk and baking spices. Lovely balance of tannins and fresh acidity.

  Typically a 1:1 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, occasionally with a little bit of Petit Verdot. Aged for 12-14 months in French oak barriques (approx. 1/3 new). 12,5% alcohol. Tasted blind.
  
  Quite youthful and deep dark ruby color with a subtly evolved maroon hue. The nose feels expressive but also quite rustic and funky with intense aromas of bretty leather and barnyard, some smoky phenolic notes, a little bit of ripe blackcurrant, light evolved notes of wizened black cherries, a hint of juicy strawberry and a woody touch of savory oak spice. The wine feels savory, quite muscular and somewhat rustic on the palate with a rather full body and intense flavors of fresh blackcurrants, some bretty leather saddle tones, light woody notes of pencil shavings, a little bit of phenolic spice, hints of earth and stable floor and a sweeter touch of ripe redcurrant. The wine is still very firm, structured and quite tightly-knit with its high acidity and moderately grippy tannins. The finish is long, intense and moderately grippy with savory and slightly funky aftertaste of ripe redcurrants and fresh dark plums, some leathery tones, a little bit of bretty barnyard, light juicy notes of ripe blackcurrants, a hint of sous-bois and a woody touch of pencil shavings.
  
  A very firm, savory and enjoyably funky Margaux that was still remarkably youthful for its age - something that seems to hold true for so many Bordeaux reds from the 2000 vintage. The wine was a bit more bretty than I - or anybody else - anticipated from this label, but since the funky notes didn't seem to distract as much as they seemed to add nice, rustic complexity to the wine, this didn't seem to be big setback. All in all, this is a pretty serious effort that is fully enjoyable right now, but seeing how surprisingly youthful the wine is for its age, I can see it improving and evolving for many years more. Highly recommended.
