Chateau La Tour de Bessan Margaux 2016 hashval_5607A0E0C2C5CCDA239DEC165300EB7AF250EDF3 dark chocolate covered blueberries andA nose of very attractive ripe red berries and plums that deliver a fresh impression with cocoa and sweet baking spices. The palate has a smooth yet powerful core with lively, dense and rich dark berries. Ripe and approachable finish. The palate is medium bodied with fine tannin, although I found the oak a tad intrusive towards the finish, at least at this early stage. I am sure it will meld together by the time this Margaux is bottled.
