Château Desmirail Margaux 1855 3ième Cru 2021

Raspberry leaf edges to the blackcurrant and bilberry fruits, tight tannnins, cocoa bean and bitter chocolate. It has elegance and finesse, well structured with grilled sandalwood oak notes, austerity clear, and the acidity on the finish is marked. I hesitated over whether to upscore, but the acidity stopped me on a second tasting. 42hl/h yield. Denis Lurton owner at this 38ha estate, Eric Boissenot consultant. Tasted twice.
