BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane: Good color, harmonious nose, good acidity. Elegant texture, even if the tannins are not complex or rich enough for greatness. Well made, but I expected more 16.5

Thierry Desseauve: Elegant and classic color; flowery nose with sandalwood notes. Complex and fine aromatic definition; tender but long; a lot of charm and race 17.5

Michael Schuster: Ripe fruit on the nose; fullish, fresh, fleshy in fruit, with a fine, light defining tannin. Nice length in the mouth, and good length to finish. Attractively rounded Margaux—pleasure already, there’s but no hurry. Now–2024+ 16
