Dark red. Inviting nose and medium full palate of black cranberry, cassis, and red plum. Juicy (medium plus) acidity from entry to medium long, palate continuing finish. Medium tannins that assert more as time and air pass. An excellent vintage of an excellent second label Margaux from Giscours. Consumate food wine that's upscale enough for filet mignon but priced for burgers off the grill, and will complement everything in between. Drink now through 2036. — 6 months ago
Very nice Margaux from a year I haven’t had before. Wonderful nose. Decanted 6h which I recommend at this point - or check back in after 3-5 years. Tannins and oak are there, relatively classically Bordeaux. Needs food - as a pairing with lamb tagine, very nice. — 7 months ago

At first sip it's a silky light Bordeaux but then it develops into a full body wine with a bold finish. — 9 years ago

Decanted for 1.5hrs, but really opened up after 2-2.5hrs. Initially muted but as more time elapsed notes of black cherry blackberry followed by mushrooms, dominant dark earthiness and leather. Appropriately balanced acidity along with medium tannin that lingered well. Really nice! — 4 years ago
I thought it was okay for the price point. I.E. over rated. It was a bigger wine for what I expected and not as complex as desired. — 8 years ago
Bright at the outset with apple, cherries, peaches then transitions to touch of smoke and wood while the acidity carries forward through the finish. — 4 months ago
Pepper, oak, black current and a bit of cassis. Soft chewy tannin. Would want to try in several years. — 6 months ago
Pale lemon in colour. Barb tasted before I did and could smell the Sauvignon Blanc immediately - musky, grapefruit (gooseberry and a trace of passion fruit as it warmed up). Medium + intensity on the palate - fully integrated oak and diminished acidity - citrus and grapefruit. Overall - delicate and restrained. An excellent wine but paying a lot for the label. — 10 months ago
From Domestique 4/13/19 for tagine, but only opened 2013 in garden on 4/27/19. Chlorine smell for J; lemon, thyme, chives, cloves, vanilla. Mouthfeel and long finish of pine. Pretty rich for Muscsdet. Expected salinity. Malted Easter egg shells. — 5 years ago

Good smooth Bordeaux but not remarkable. Straightforward and lacking complexity. — 4 months ago
