Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Florales Bouquet, wirkt etwas reserviert und zeigt weniger Süsse als vergleichbare Crus. Im Gaumen recht fein, gut ausgelegt, mürb-mehliger Stoff, florales Finale. Gute Anlagen.

A masculine-styled, dense purple-colored 2009, this cuvee offers up scents of charcoal, asphalt, black currants, incense, and crushed rocks. This deep, medium to full-bodied, well-made Margaux is broader, richer, and more substantial than usual, with more alcohol as well as substance. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated. This is a 30-year wine. (Tasted two times.)

Fresh and clean, with a moderate range of damson plum, blackberry and licorice notes backed by easygoing toast on the iron-tinged finish. Best from 2013 through 2020. 7,080 cases made. –JM
