Margaux 2GCC. Revisiting this btl to see how it's developing since last tasting a year back. Nose is even lovelier than I remembered - bursting at the rim w amazing aromatics of violets and fresh red fruits, not green or shy at all. It wows you even before you taste a drop. Just on the bouquet alone easily>9.0. The palate has gained weight since last tasted, more rounded and substantial now, althou still relatively light-bodied. Plummy overtones. Tannins still stubbornly bitter. Rather short finish. A great vintage, but only a good wine (8.5/10).
