This is the finest effort yet produced by this Garagiste Margaux operation. Its inky black, purple color and gorgeous aromas of melted licorice, sweet creme de cassis, blackberries, smoke, and melted licorice are spectacular. Full-bodied and powerful yet incredibly fresh, well-delineated, and layered, this stunningly proportioned 2005 should age effortlessly for 25+ years. Stunning!
