Château Margaux
Château Marquis d'Alesme
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2015
Leave this open at least 30 minutes before consuming. You will know it is ready when the nose opens up to reveal flowers and a fruit bouquet. The nose is extraordinary. At the correct age to drink now. This is a complex Bordeaux with red fruits, earth, and mushrooms. This wine is rich and needs steak or lamb. Underrated here. An excellent value at $82. — 9 days ago
Château Labégorce
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2015
Vintage 2015 | popped and poured by bbq | Lovely! A point. Velvety structure, tobacco, vanilla, spicyness, but the structure wins you over for the wine. Love Margaux preciseness. — a month ago
Château Malescot St. Exupéry
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2006
2nd Ribcap wine. Delicious!
2006 followed the grand 2005 vintage. It was overpriced based on 2005 & critically reviewed as a difficult vintage. I can tell you 06 was overpriced, but still a good to very good vintage depending on the region & producer.
The fruits are classic Bordeaux…nicely ripe; blackberries, black raspberries, very dark cherries, black plum, plum, mix of strawberries & red cherries. Wet, volcanic clay, lead pencil for days, slightly, dry tobacco, dark spices, mix of mostly dry & fresh herbs, clove, nutmeg, some cinnamon & vanillin, volcanic ash, used leather, sandalwood to cedar, forest floor w/ dry leaves, dry river stone, steeped, dark fruit tea, withering, slightly candied; dark, red florals with hints of violets, round, fresh, river stream acidy, a plush, round, elegant, nicely; tensioned, structured, balanced and elegant polished finish that last 90 seconds. — a month ago
Château Prieuré-Lichine
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1982
The last bottle at Mick’s Cellar tasting last Saturday and what a finale it was. Amazingly rich and full bodied for a 42 year old wine from the fabulous 1982 vintage in Bordeaux. One of the best wines (probably top 3) I’ve ever had was the 1982 Chateau Margaux and this nearby neighbour just reinforces that tasting some years ago. Plenty of red and black berry. Full bodied and delicious, still with a future. Supple fluid tannins with a loong finish. A treat to taste this. Thanks Mick. — a month ago
Château Cantenac Brown
BriO de Cantenac Brown Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2011
2019 vintage. Not so much a second wine, but something different, produced from specific parcels, and aged with less oak influence. Very good indeed. — a month ago

Nose: dark and serious with major tobacco. Hints of vegetal tones. Lilacs as it opens.
Palate: still fresh. Tobacco. Dense dark berry fruit.
Like a lecture on Hegel. Very serious.
As this opens more delicious and less ungiving. Beautiful silky texture.
3 hours in getting crazy. Nose has these gorgeous dense florals. So complex. Pink roses. This is why we drink wine. Still so fresh on the palate. Long.
