This baby Margaux has fleshed out beautifully in the last 2 years. Balanced and sexy with lovely red fruits and spices on the nose and all hit the palate with a vengance. Not quite the weight of its' 1st growth leader, it still has enough tannins to let this improve for another 3-6 years. Lovely juice. 90/92. 26 on futures.12.5% alc. WW

Opened another for lucnh yesterday whilst trying to catch my breath after one of the most exciting tenny matches I've witnessed in years. Brite ruby. Nose has muscled out showing not only plush red fruits, saddle leather, underpinning of red plums and sweet spice. Supple entry, medium center, and a 4+ lapper finish. This lush, plush feminine beauty has just about hit TTOIG. Torn, but think it needs to stay the same scoring until next trip. WW

Had another for lunch yesserday. Continues on its' magic journey unabated. The nose is intense and all of the components come over on the palate. Red fruit, leather, and white pepper along with all-spice all blend in this lovely bottle. Have to take it to 91/92. Can still improve over the next 1-2. WW

Sounds just about perfect! I wish I had some reasonable '95's hanging around for me to pop once every so often [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
