Chateau Marquis d'Alesme Becker, Margaux, France 2018 Yuki Otoko and exoticA 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
