Tasting Notes
Colour
salmon
air Nose
ha! It starts amazingly meaty and rubbery, with also some rather bold notes of cooked strawberries. Not too bad, actually. A little ginger, Alka-Seltzer, getting then very spicy (lots of clove and pepper from the casks). Not bad at all. One must not forget that Château (that’s right, there’s a circumflex on the ‘a’, folks, don’t forget it on your labels!) Margaux uses only new oak, so the wood’s influence is very big, even if it’s very tight French oak
restaurant Palate
a sharp attack, with some bold notes of liquorice, very spicy again – and also quite herbal. And them come the cloves again, together with quite some juniper, making the whole taste almost like a (very strong) mulled wine. Very curious but not bad! 79 points .
