Tasting Notes |
Good colour, attractively fragrant nose of fresh red berry fruit that starts discreetly and grows in the glass, a wine of breed and balance. Drink 2011-20. 4 stars. Decanter Magazine |
57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot (because the Petit Verdot didn't reach the optimum level of ripeness and so didn't make it into the grand vin). Very aromatic. Mid purplish crimson with a weak rim. Looks a lot weaker than Alter Ego. Very fresh revitalising nose, pretty weak on the palate. But fine. For the first time I could taste something like stewed apples! Very soft gentle texture but without much density. Fragrant, dry finish, Pretty long. Quite a different expression from the more voluptuous Alter Ego, Very light and dry. Certainly a very valid expression of Margaux. 13%. Drink 2012-16. Jancis Robinson |
A fresh and fruity young red, with currant and light vanilla aromas and flavors. Even a little white truffle. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a delicate finish. James Suckling |
