bark and baking spices

followed by deeper aromas of yellow plum and nectarine

because it is neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the glass walls

The Montepulciano grapes vinified with a limited contact of the must with the skins

5% Petit Verdot and the rest Cabernet Franc

Chateau Marquis d'Alesme Becker, Margaux, France 2018 Yuki Otoko bark and baking spicesA rock star Margaux that should be snatched up by readers, the 2018 Chteau Marquis D'Alesme reveals a dense purple hue as well as ripe, sexy notes of blackcurrants, spicy oak, tobacco leaf, earth, and cedar. Deep, full bodied, and gorgeously concentrated, it has velvety tannins, a layered, mouthcoating texture, and a great finish. 97 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
