Clos des Quatre Vents, Margaux, 2008

Luc's minute 1.2 hectares plot continues to put many grander Margaux estates to shame. The 2008 offers a really perfumed, sexy bouquet of cool black and red berry fruit, cut flowers, minerals and graphite. The palate has a silky smooth texture, with ample plum liqueur fruit, cool cassis and a gravelly minerality. There are really precise, focused, fruit flavours. This is complex, sophisticated Margaux with none of the aggressive tannins seen elsewhere in the commune. Delicious.
