A densely tannic wine that is showing fine aging potential. It is well endowed with weight, acidity and ripe black currant fruits. With the rich fruit that opens slowly in the mouth, it has a fine combination of sweetness and structure. Age for 5–6 years.

A big rich, well-made wine that comes from Soussans in the north of Margaux appellation. It is solid, with some new wood flavors, black fruits and tarry tannins that leave a firm, dry aftertaste.

86-88. Barrel sample. This wine is dominated by new wood, with caramel and sweet fruit flavors. It feels unbalanced, with the acidity way behind the fruit.

A soft, ready-to-drink Margaux, with scents of damp clay and leather followed by black cherry and vanilla flavors. Boasts a plesant creaminess on the palate and complicating hints of leather and earth on the finish.
