Red wine
Château Margaux 2018
This clocks in at 14% alcohol, and registers even more tannin than Latour. I loved the pure expression of fruit, and almost sweet herbs that came forth with time in glass. Lots of depth and subtle power to the wine, but never “armored” in any way, so this conveys Margaux elegance but with a sharp edge.
Score: 96-98+
