A Margaux tasted in 2018 as a 2012 vintage, typical of the appellation. The tannins are well-melted and greedy, giving a taste of undergrowth and light truffle, not heady but very present. This is the same wine as the Château appellation, but with vines less than 25 years old. The only difference is that it is less pronounced and can be kept less... even if it's good to drink now, it will also be forgotten in the cellar for "only" 20 years, unlike its elder brother, which will keep longer... a very fine wine!

I'm buying en primeur, so I haven't tasted it yet. However, I was able to taste the previous vintages and they are really very good.
