<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
