Ch. Margaux (0.75 L)

WS: This still broods seriously, with dark plum, currant and blackberry fruit, studded with charcoal, singed tobacco and cedar notes and backed by a serious grip of roasted earth. The gorgeously long finish is driven by old-school tannins, with the smoldering edge going on and on. A brick house of a Margaux, with more charcoal than graphite, more austerity than elegance and more power than refinement.?Non-blind Chateau Margaux vertical (December 2013). Drink now through 2034. 18,000 cases made. ¿CJM
