Ca'Marcanda Magari 2021

it’s an intellectual interpretation of Cabernet Sauvignon

balanced and much more complex finale

who also runs the show at Château Latour

but with some Cabernet Franc (rarely seen in the Médoc these years) as well as Merlot and Petit Verdot

pure and airy red berry fruit scents along with a profusion of floral elements that are also trimmed in a discreet application of wood

particularly given that a '76 Giroud Suchots tasted side by side (see herein) was substantially better

It is difficult for readers who have never tasted Cuvee Madame to imagine a wine of such honeyed richness

a scent of unsmoked

with extraordinary concentration

weight and power to the medium weight plus flavors that brim with mouth coating dry extract that buffers well the firm tannic spine on the strikingly long finish

and an almost Graves-like scorched earth character

resinous element that will surely surface over the next decade or so
