<strong>Bordeaux</strong><strong>2018</strong><br />

91 – 92 BLASON D’ISSAN Margaux Parker 88 – 90 | Suckling 93 – 94 |<br />

The Blason d’Issan is a classically, precise Margaux with backbone.<br />

Very fragrant, round and creamy, full and tightly woven, with lots<br />

of breed and length. It has beautiful, fleshy fruit, good core, and<br />

spiciness, as well as great intensity.<br />

43<br />

91 – 92 LE COTEAU Margaux<br />

The Le Coteau consists of 75 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 22 %<br />

Merlot, and 3 % Petit Verdot. The <strong>2018</strong> Le Coteau is more<br />

massive than usual and less elegant than before. It has a<br />

high concentration of dark-berry, fleshy fruit, fresh and<br />

well-structured, with good transparency and cool-toned<br />

character.<br />

91 – 92 MONGRAVEY Margaux Suckling 91 – 92 |<br />

The Mongravey consists of 60 % Cabernet Sauvignon,<br />

38 % Merlot, and 2 % Cabernet Franc, aged<br />

in 60 % new barrique-barrels. Black color, viscous.<br />

Rich, massive, and full, the Mongravey<br />

<strong>2018</strong> is highly concentrated and compacted; currently,<br />

it shows a bit harsh and severe, with a good, intense aftertaste.<br />

That should arrange everything by the time.<br />

91 – 92 OR NORME Margaux Parker 90 – 92 |<br />

The Or Norme belongs to the Château Tayac. Black, massive color.<br />

Dense and intense, with lots of power and spice, the Or Norme<br />

seems slightly over-extracted. Full of pressure and with a rich body,<br />

it has a bit too little finesse for his weight.<br />

91 – 92 SÉGLA Margaux Suckling 93 – 94 |<br />

The Ségla is the second wine of Rauzan-Ségla. It consists of 54 %<br />

Cabernet Sauvignon, 44 % Merlot, and 2 % Petit Verrdot, aged in<br />

25 % new barrels. Black color. Offensive and concentrated, the Ségla<br />

has an enormous freshness and rich extract sweetness in the nose.<br />

Tight, transparent, and with a good punch in the mouth, it has a<br />

perfect body and a tight acidity. Together with the right balance it<br />

has an animating drinking flow.<br />

91 – 92 TAYAC Margaux Parker 88 – 90 | Suckling 88 – 89 |<br />

Black color. The Tayac shows a lot of juice and fullness with rich<br />

extraction, while it has a lot of creaminess and good flow. So the<br />

Tayac presents itself as a modern, polished Margaux with good concentration.<br />

The Or Norme from the same producer is a bit overambitious.<br />

90 – 91 DESMIRAIL Margaux Parker 87 – 89 | Suckling 91 – 92 |<br />

Rich, sweet, and massive, the Desmirail shows excellent structure<br />

and density. Creamy and rich in extraction, the tannins are somewhat<br />

dull and dry. The Desmirail seems a bit bold and massive.<br />

90 – 91 SIRAN Margaux Parker 91 – 93 | Suckling 94 – 95 |<br />

The Siran supports a good dark-berry structure; it is full and fresh,<br />

with lots of juice and some dull tannins. In the aftertaste, it has a<br />

tendency to hardness and severe charisma with restrained fruit.<br />

90 – 91 LA TOUR DE MONS Margaux Parker 88 – 90 | Suckling 92 – 93 |<br />

The La Tour de Mons has a lighter color and a restrained nose with<br />

leathery notes. Sweetish round, concentrated and corpulent in the<br />

mouth, with plenty of substance and pressure, lemony fruit-aspects<br />

and racy acidity, but also hard tannins.<br />

89 – 90 CHEVALIER DE LASCOMBES Margaux<br />

88 – 89 MARSAC-SÉGUINEAU Margaux
