Generous nose of blackberry compote, violets, forest brush and cedar. On the palate, expect ripe tannins, black cherry and a fair amount of glycerol. It's full, round, fat and totally hedonistic.

Dusty rose, dirty Frenchman right here. There's just something about old world wine and the taste of French terroir. || Cypher wine training : Bordeaux varietals ||

If I put this blind in a Ca Cabernet tastings, most of you would call Ca Cabernet. Rich big dark cassis, huge baking spices, caramel and dry dark florals. Out of magnum.

Classic nose with black currant and cassis, some damson plum and notes of cedar wood & mint. Fresh, pure and very seductive & enticing. Medium bodied in the palate, very elegant and with great balance. The tannins are velvety fine but still give a nice frame to the dark fruit. Juicy & fresh and with good length. This is in a very nice place right now and is drinking beautifully. Such a classic Margaux.
