Written Notes

Deep purple red with violet hue. Expressive and complex nose with aroma reminiscent of fresh blackcurrants, blackberries and sweet elderberries, hints of mild spices in the background as well as very elegant toasting aroma. On the palate well balanced with freshness, silky tannins,  excellent length with complex fruit and elegant spiciness in the finish. 

  • 92p

Desmirail Margaux - 60% Cabernet Sauvignon 35% Merlot 5% Petit

Verdot Good deep colour, bright nose, edge of cocoa, nicely complexity

on the aromatics, excellent mouthfeel, and cool, nice balanced minty

finish. The best Desmirail I have tasted to date. 90-92/100

  • 92p
Deep colour. Roasted chestnut, blackcurrant, graphite aromas. Rich and inky textured with deep set blackcurrant, black olive flavours, fine smooth fine tannins, ginger oak notes and brambly firm finish. Touch over extracted at the finish, but nice buoyancy and weight. 90 points.
