A second growth Margaux, but an under performer on the price side of things. In good years such as 2000, a wine like this should be a fairly safe bet.
The nose is developed showing leather, tobacco, brown spices and toasty oak all over laying subtle red fruit. That red fruit is more evident on the palate which is still showing well, although I wouldn’t be holding onto this wine for too much longer. Acidity is starting to fall away, but the wine is well balanced and was thoroughly enjoyed by all at the table. 89 points
