I tasted this wine at this year's Food Expo. It was one of, if not, the first first encounters with this Fourth Growth Margaux estate, of which I had recently blogged. It seems that the cepage has changed from the info on the website as this wine has a smattering of Petit Verdot added in. It was generally well received, with Wine Spectator rating of 93-96 and a Decanter rating of 17/20.
The wine was a lovely purple ruby in colour with a fruity nose (I was a bit impaired with the remnants of a cold that day). The sweet fruitiness continued onto the palate, which was then amply supported by an acid tannic backbone.
