1 hour decant. Nose: Earth and pencil lead in abundance. Very Margaux. Palate: Soft styled with the pencil lead and loam showing with black fruits in a supporting role. Finish is long and elegant. Fabulous and perfect with fillets at Capital Grille. 92+ points.

Daughters birthday and her birth year wine.
Dinner at Soleil with friends.
Decanted with a large flask for 2 hours.
Needs air to soften the tannic structure and backbone.
Better but best to wait another 5 years for this massive hot vintage Margaux to reveal itself fully.

still very lively with good acidity, well balanced. Would not have guessed it was 14 years

Probably could benefit from more time. Not much depth, decent balance.

Cherry and cassis, with hints of violet. Solid tannins. Really long granite and cassis finish. Nicely integrated so was pretty smooth.
