A lovely example of mature Bordeaux hitting its perfect drinking window. It reveals a mature bouquet of blackcurrants, dried violets, and cedar, with classic notes of pencil shavings and tobacco leaf. The palate shows elegant restraint with layers of sweet cassis and plum fruit with tertiary notes of leather and forest floor. The tannins have evolved beautifully, creating a silky texture that’s pure Margaux in character. The finish is refined and persistent, with subtle hints of truffle and spice box.
