Tasting notes
Even better than I thought it would be from barrel, this 15,000-bottle cuvee of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot made by the partner of Jean-Luc Thunevin, Murielle Thunevin, is sensational. Classic Margaux notes of spring flowers, black currant and licorice as well as hints of blueberry pie, lead pencil shavings and camphor jump from the glass of this full-bodied, dense, moderately tannic yet exceptionally well-endowed effort. It is a big wine from Margaux, but it never loses its sense of perspective, finesse and freshness. Give it 5-6 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 20-25 years.

Very dark crimson. Exceptionally concentrated and thick – very sweet – certainly not typical Margaux! Tarry finish. Very clean and fresh and vigorous, but it is really more of a right-bank wine than recognisably Margaux. Finishes pretty dry and suddenly. (JR)
This has a lot of new oak, making it concentrated and dense. It is very extracted, heavy fruit with very little sense of the Margaux appellation. However, the wine is not without merit, many will enjoy the sheer size and dimension of this wine. asianpalate.com
