Michael Schuster | A glass-filling, sweet-fruited, subtly gravelly nose, persistent, and blackcurrant Cabernet dominated; a rich mid-weight wine, very fine but firm in tannin, fresh in acidity, with a marked fruit concentration; a deep, blackcurrant-cored flavor, pure, graceful, very long across the palate, and very long to finish, with a marked Cabernet fruit persistence. Wonderful fruit, beautiful Margaux, but with its firm, Cabernet backbone, a long-term wine, ideally to leave for 20 years. 2038-50+ | 97
