2018 Chateau Le Coteau Margaux

From: Margaux, Medoc, Bordeaux, FranceVarietal: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot Taste & Critical Acclaim: It is distinguished by its deep purple hue with violet reflections. The nose presents an elegant bouquet of dark berries, notably blackberry and plum, complemented by floral notes of violet and subtle hints of spice and chocolate. The wine is well-balanced on the palate, offering freshness, ripe tannins, and a juicy fruit core, culminating in a convincing length.
"Blackcurrants, blackberries, dried flowers, graphite and cedar on the nose. Medium to full body with firm, tight tannins and fresh acidity. Quite austere and tight. Better from 2024.” 92 Points, James Suckling "The 2018 Château Le Coteau is a classic, elegant Margaux with a ruby hue as well as beautiful notes of redcurrants, black cherries, sappy herbs, spring flowers, and cedar. Nicely balanced, with good acidity and a great finish, it's well worth seeking out and will keep for 10-15 years.” 91 Points, Jeb D
