Third wine in flight three for the Bordeaux Master's Class at Heart's Delight with all wines from Margaux.
Medium ruby red with a dark core. Honestly, was very surprised with this. Seemed more New World over Old World. Tons of sweet spices, loaded dark juicy berries, and definitely some oaky influence as well. Balanced acidity and heavy tannins (7/10). Light red fruit like red currants on the palate with some stoney and woody characteristics. Medium plus body with a long finish. Definitely a baby and needs some time to hopefully improve. Drink till 2035. — 9 years ago

1937 Lafaurie-Peyraguey: seventy-eight years had nothing on this still-fresh show-stopper. Lucid amber color, tangy marmalade-tinged flavor, medium-weight that is not tiring to drink at all. Threads the needle with perfect balance of honeyed intensity and bright acidity. One of the best #Sauternes ever to grace these lips. The perfect #wine when the wolves of life are howling outside your door. — 11 years ago

Third wine in flight four for the Bordeaux Master's Class at Heart's Delight with wines from Saint Julien and Pauillac.
Deep ruby core. Nose was coated with sweet spices, and dark fruits. Solid acidity and medium tannins (6.5/10). Medium plus bodied and mute. Dark and rustic, a touch savory, and earthy. Dry and mouth watering with a long finish. Drink till 2035. — 9 years ago
Fourth red in flight two for the Bordeaux Master's Class at Heart's Delight with all wines from Pessac-Léognan.
Deep and dark ruby red. Rich nose with sweet spices, cinnamon, dark cocoa and a touch of red fruit. Heavy tannins (7/10) and medium plus body. Similar notes on the palate with red berries, cinnamon and a touch of bitterness. Stoney and dry long finish. Just a baby and needs time to fully integrate. Drink till 2037. (90+) — 9 years ago

Little funk then baking spice, earth, tea, and pine needle. Savory and delicious. Good stuff for a WV wine. Day 3: This has added depth, really delicious. — 11 years ago
Medium garnet color, bright like Ruby gem, smells of white truffle, Matutake mushroom, damped earth, pine needle, and smoked meat, tannin is completely resolved at this point, extremely smooth and round, tastes of strawberry, pomegranate, and cranberry, initially pronounced acidity with a citrus note, faded away after 30 min in the decanter, still plenty of fruit left, a pleasure to drink, medium to long lingering finish with a savory aftertaste. Yummy! — 11 years ago
Pine needle, lavender, vibrant Pinot fruit. Wonderful weight & texture. — 11 years ago

First wine in flight three for the Bordeaux Master's Class at Heart's Delight with all wines from Margaux.
Medium to deep ruby red. Layered nose with an attack of blackberries and cinnamon. Followed by an undertone of red cherries. Heavy tannins (7/10) with a touch gritty in texture, almost like a soft sandpaper. Quite a bit of a acidity but still balanced with notes of yeast, sweet spices, cinnamon, vanilla, and dark black fruits. Dry medium plus to full body with a long finish. Drink till 2037+. (91+) — 9 years ago
Reviewed upon opening. Structured and firm still, yet a tad hot on the nose and palette with kirsch and anise flavors. Nice complements of herbal tea, mushroom, pine needle, underbrush with a charming balance with will likely take over with a little air time on the bottle. In a good place yet could go another 2-3 years nicely. Wonderful wine — 10 years ago
