Red
Marquis D’alesme Margaux 2018
55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 5% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot aging in 65% new oak
96 Points, Robert Parker: Deep purple-black in color, it leaps from the glass with bold, expressive black cherries, warm plums, crème de cassis and red roses scents with touches of baking spices, potpourri and fragrant earth. Full-bodied, rich and opulent, it completely fills the palate with hedonic black fruit preserves and spices, framed by firm, velvety tannins and finishing with fantastic length.
95 Points, Wine Spectator: Gorgeous mouthfeel right from the first sip, with a velvety, fine-grained texture that lets the range of dark plum, black currant and blackberry fruit flavors splay out without losing focus, while mouthwatering black tea, alder and mineral notes wait gracefully in reserve, showing just a hint, for now, of what they can do on the finish.

Sunsoaked blackberry with subtle hints of cocoa and vanilla swirl like the softest whispers of a cozy bonfire on the nose. There's a charming minerality here too, like a sprinkle of earthy magic, reminding you that this wine hails from the Fronsac. The tannins; smooth operators, gliding effortlessly into a finish that really lingers. A perfect companion for a rich dinner or an evening of storytelling with friends!
