Good fruit. Precise. Lots of character. Inky with some lifted violets. Pretty

Full of delicate, transparent red and blue fruit. Aching freshness. Licorice, violet, blackberry, vanilla, some just-baked butter pastry, a salty savory play-dough quality, and mint. Wow. Far and away the best Bel Air Marquis D’Aligre I’ve tried, blows away the ‘95 and ‘10.

Stellar. Pop and pour. So seductive. No formal notes.

Classic bordeaux. Bright clear flavors. Graphite, cassis, perfumed. Nicely restrained and probably a decent life ahead. The vineyard is a real outlier with the wines made by the same maker since 1950 and some vines on original pre phylloxera rootstock. The transparency of vineyard and romance of winemaking combined.

Far more open & inviting than the ‘96 we had a few months back. Gorgeous fresh wild berries; tannins sing backup. Violets, prunes, touch of cedar & camphor on the nose. This is open for business and I’d drink up…

Wow this is so delicious, had 1986 and 2000 good, but this one is so much better, a fantastic Margaux with some power
