* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This wine is spicy from new wood with ripe, black plum flavors and a polished feel to it. The dark tannins give a powerful structure, well integrated with the sweet fruit.

If Margaux is the most delicate of the Médoc wines, then this is the epitome of Margaux. It is light, poised and attractively perfumed. The fruit is elegant and fresh with a fine streak of acidity.

This has really come on since the futures tastings in 2008. Today, the wine shows pedigree, the dusty tannins ripe, fitting well with the spice, acidity and soft, generous fruit. Concentration comes through from the solid final fruit flavors.

94-96 Barrel sample. Delicious smoky aromas followed by ripe and sweet fruit that is in great balance with the tannins. There seems plenty of potential here.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This is a wine that needs time. It has been made with firm tannins and some toasty wood over the ripe fruit of 2003, but at this stage, it is more about structure than opulence. That said, though, this is going to be a very fine wine in about five years. It is a powerful expression of the year, and if drunk now, should be decanted.

Huge investment is paying off at Labegorce. And it has not resulted in a wine that is simply modern in style. For here the new wood is well integrated, the fruit is structured, and never too extracted, and the ripeness also has layers of Bordeaux dryness.

94-96 Powerful and dense, the wine has all the right weight to go with the tannins. It is finely concentrated, a powerhouse of richness without any sense of excess.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This château has seen a big investment in recent years and it has paid off. Despite its modern, polished style evidenced by a generous use of new wood, it retains the proper charm of a Margaux, with the fruit floating elegantly over the wood and the tannins.

90-92 Barrel sample. Firmly in the tannic arena, the wine is initially dark and tight. But there is fruit underneath, blackberry and redcurrants, coming through in the final acidity.

New wood, sweet fruit, blackberry and plum skin flavors are all here in this round, ripe wine, with its soft, dusty tannins and delicious fresh acidity. This property has certainly joined the big league in Margaux.
