We had this wine the other day with beef sashimi amongst other food. We had recently bought some half bottles of this wine and as was noted in an earlier blog piece, the 2011 was Ch Magdelaine's last vintage as it was merged with Ch Belair-Monange in 2012. The wine was a nice deep ruby in colour, with a sweet acid astringent plummy woody nose. The palate was sweet woody plummy and tannic, well supported by a sweet savoury tannic backbone with a hint of acid.
Now i quite like this estate; and with it disappearing into another Moueix property, it must be time to seek out that wine although I don't seem to have spotted it on the shelves here in Hong Kong yet.
