93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

This wine is only now reaching full maturity, much later than initially expected. A classy and elegant expression of Château Margaux, it displays a dark ruby-purple color and a moderately intense bouquet of sweet black currant fruit intertwined with mineral notes, vanilla and delicate floral aromas. Medium-bodied, it offers beautifully sweet fruit with a linear, more tightly knit structure and a fine inner core of richness. Harmonious and refined rather than monumental, it continues to age effortlessly and seems to gain additional character with every passing year.
