One of the more modern-styled wines from the appellation of Margaux always with a prominent overlay of toasty new oak espresso roast and sweet black fruits this wine seems more restrained and has backed off its concentration with the 2006. It is a mid-weight elegant wine with notes of licorice and black currants as well as a hint of tobacco leaf. The wine is concentrated and obviously outstanding but the moderate tannins in the finish suggest cellaring it for 2-3 years and drinking it over the following 15-20.

Displays blackberry and blueberry aromas with a hint of cappuccino. Full and silky with a lovely texture of ripe tannins and an aftertaste of dark chocolate berry and light vanilla. This is a solid estate making solid wines now.
