Another wine that is showing better in the bottle than it did in the barrel is filled with cherries, roses, mint and wet earth. The palate is fresh, sweet, energetic, medium-bodied, and elegant with a hint of spice with a refreshing note of mint that comes in at the backend of the finish. You can enjoy this early-drinking charmer on release. Drink from 2024-2037.

Espresso, toffee, red fruits, flowers and spice open up the nose. On the palate, the earthy fruits and tobacco come along quickly. Medium-bodied with sweetness and a firm quality to the ]tannins dictate 3-5 years of cellaring before you should start to enjoy it.

Floral in nature, the earthy fruits and tobacco come along quickly. Medium-bodied with a nice sweetness to the fruit and softness in the texture, this has a lot of charm. Give it 3-5 years before popping a cork. 90-92 Pts

Zesty, juicy, bright lemon and honeysuckle centered wine with freshness and a nice jolt of yellow citrus with a shot of lime in the finish. This will be just great on release.

Medium-bodied, elegant, soft and polished, the wine is round, juicy and fresh, leaving with ample sweet red fruits in the finish. Forward in style, you can drink this young, or age it for more softness and nuance.

Earthy, floral, fresh and forward, this soft textured, medium-bodied, red berry and red plum filled wine, with its hint of thyme, flowers, espresso and sweet fruit seems like its ready to go. But give it another year or 3, and it will show even better.

Another winner from Stephane Derenoncourt and his team. From a minor terroir in Margaux, the wine delivers ripe dark berries, truffle and floral notes with hints of espresso and licorice. Silky smooth tannins, an open accessible style and a ripe, fruit filled finish make this a wine to look for.

Deep color, soft tannins, floral, earthy, blackberry aromas, round textures, ripe fruit and it's early drinking too. Plus, it's fairly priced for a wine from the Margaux appellation. The wine was produced from a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot.

Fully mature, medium bodied, fresh, floral, tobacco laden wine, with sweet, bright cherries, damp earth and soft textures for current drinking. This vintage marked the first year where the estate started making nice, reasonably, well priced wine. However, this is not a wine for further aging. I'd drink over the next 2-5 years.

Simple, straight forward, foursquare, acceptable, earthy, not quite lean, medium-bodied wine, focused more on its secondary character, as the fruit has started to gently fade.

Surprisingly interesting and fun to drink, especially when you consider its age and the vintage, the wine is brick with some oranging around the edge in color. Lots of earth, cedar and tobacco, with a little, sweet, spicy and tart red fruit that is managing to still be kicking around.
