Monthly WTF guys blind tasting group. This month was our annual, and famed, Left Bank vs Right Bank theme. All wines served blind as usual. Started off with a Rosé and a champagne. Great night. I think this was my WOTN. It was ripe, showing smoked meat, roasted plum and baked blackberry pie aromatics. Full bodied, smooth, balanced between fruit and savory notes. Seems to be open for business now. I called this ‘08 Left Bank.

Pleasant but young Malescot-St. Exupery. Rich, concentrated, fruit driven, earthy and a tad wild too. But still so young. Have always thought that this was a great QPR from Margaux and yes it is!

Density and power defined, but give this time as it should shine when the baby fat melts away!

A beautiful value of density of earthiness and jammy dark fruit. Straight out of the gate, this Margaux is ready to enjoy now.

A truly beautiful, deeply ruby garnet wine! Typical young Bordeaux on the nose that explodes in the glass with graphite, tar, and oak flavors on the palette. Tasted immediately after de-corking and the wine was tight but the transformation after 24 hours in the bottle was profound. This vintage lives up to the standard for a great Margaux - and for a much better price point!

Checking in on the hyped 09 vintage. 2 hour decant(fine/cloudy sediment). An astonishing inky dark crimson color. On the nose: Beautiful Margaux nose of ripe berries, floral, wet forest floor, little stewed meat, leather, creme de cassis, and vanilla. Taste: smooth, rich, elegant, brooding wine with blackberry, cassis, espresso, graphite, and a long smokey spice finish. Some slight tannins still present, but drinks well with the decant. Will give it a few more years for my next bottle.

Elegant, big dark berry Margaux magic. Very nicely defined texture and soft cocoa tannins. Full bodied and long finish

Superb cellar selection from last night. Plenty of sediment but retains color intensity. Aromas of concentrated and sappy blue and black fruits. Some fresh leather and cedar. Really elegant, powerfully silky on the palate which picks up red currant and some ripe plum. Very clean.
