DRINK NOW! 10 years old this year and fully in its prime. Opened 5 bottles of this Margaux over the last 6 months and each one was killer. Recommend a one hour decant. Dark chocolate, blueberry’s, plum, baking spice, vanilla, and toasty cedar. Silky, reduced (medium) tannins. Medium acidity. Velvety and lush mouth feel. Very refined and elegant. Medium-long finish. HUGE value for money. Continued proof that there is top tier wine outside the classification. 92-93/100 Drink now until 2030+

Very good Bordeaux with strong tannins (likely due to young age). Was as good as at Reve when we had it originally. Paired well with roasted lamb.

Really enjoyed it. But mainly because I had been drinking on the beach all day. Remember it being good, so am going with my previous rating...

Silky tannins and velvet mouthfeel. Powerful black fruit and graphite noise. Rather fruit forward for a Bordeaux. Not sure how much more life it has...drink in next 2-3 years.

Beautiful ruby color. Smell: powerful and elegant fruity arome, black currant, dark cherry, leather, earth, smoke, vanilla, hints of chocolate. Taste: medium bodied, blackberry, red currant, tobacco, toast, long aftertaste with cherry notes. Good tannins, good acidity. Well-balanced good Margaux. Drink now or lay for some years to cellar. 91 points.
