May 13th, 2017Tons of fruit - really gaining depth with air - restrained tobacco and cocoa notes - lower acidity than I imagined - pleasure to drink now

Dec 15th, 2012This is again a great wine, one of the better vintages of this classic Margaux estate. Such a shame it’s our last bottle. Still a powerful mid palate with dark cassis tones with the old fashioned cigar box with matches in it😉 and a great balance in this impressive wine.

Jun 3rd, 2022I love this wine, perfect nose with spices and great perfume. This is delicate drinking but still there at the age of 17

May 29th, 2022Just drinking lovely right now. Classic Margaux perfume - black fruits and graphite. Chewy tannins and a long finish. Nothing to argue with here. 2005 BDX vintage is in a really nice spot right now.

Nov 8th, 2020Youthful, structured & still primary that I find in most 05’s. Lots of dark inky fruit, graphite, mocha, leather & tobacco. Will need another 5 yrs.

Aug 24th, 2020Boom. A big wine - right in the window. Tons of dark fruit and cassis on the nose. A tinge of smoke as well. Smooth on the palate. A lovely well balanced wine.
