Rating: 4/5 - As reviewed by Decanter. Very good colour, lovely nose showing ripe fruit and full, but restrained maturity, tight, well-knit tannins, very elegant and long. Described by Paul Pontallier as 'tres chic'. Very good. (Tasted en primeur)

Rating for France-Bordeaux-Margaux: 89 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>

smooth and very well structured with an excellent balance of fruit, silk and tannins. damson and velvet.
