The 2019 vintage in Margaux

Vintage character: A hot end of summer after a rainy spring gave wines that hold ripeness and freshness together; the cabernets shine here.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Margaux. An estate can depart from it sharply, in frost or hail years, where two neighbours did not make the same vintage. What this particular wine actually gave is on its technical sheet and in the scores above.
Tasting
The 1762 vintage is a deep color with purple reflections. Rich bouquet, with floral notes of blackberry, dark chocolate, bitter orange and licorice. The palate is full, round and creamy. We find the flavors of small black fruits on a mocha finish.
