Color of dark bloody red with nice legs on the rim. It swirls with sort of dense structure. Nose of waves and waves of dark chocolate, raisins, black pepper, and powerful alcohol. Every note is powerful. Taste of dried fruit sweetness, like dates, wrapped in bright acidity, low tanning, smoky, and spice note like black pepper. It is jammy and chewy. Aftertaste of sweet note with a hint of bitter zest. Overall, the aftertaste is the only weak link to make it a great wine. Enjoy it now. — 10 years ago
51% cab 49% Shiraz. It's a baby grange made from grape that don't make ultra hard and expensive grange classification and uses same barrels. Very rich stewed fruits and notes of blackberry and raspberry. Smooth and complex with outstanding finish and overall taste. — 13 years ago
Wow here is a wine with soul. Take a minute to examine what this means.... This is a wine of amazing purity. Most at the table could only gasp... Sigh and say holy shit they don't make them like this. Over the plateau barely this wine possessed riveting purity and crazy forest floor notes. It's a wine that defies words but only the purists will comprehend it. — 10 years ago
If this's wine doesn't make you happy then you should be committed. Beautiful spicey complex nose with a soft palate that just glides along for days. #winning #holysmokes #chateaumargaux #cabernet #toolegittospit — 11 years ago

Tha k you Mr. Lurton for coming by and pouring us four vintages of Cheval Blanc! This was in a great spot with the most olive intrigue, new leather and cool blue fruit. Where is my steak? — 10 years ago
