TASTING NOTE
This classic Margaux has been making terrific wines since the late nineties. However, the 2013 is not one of them. Nevertheless, it is certainly very good. Soft, medium-bodied with no herbaceousness or astringent tannin. It offers a slight floral note intermixed with notions of raspberries, black currants, licorice and background oak.
