The 2011 Desmirail has a satisfactory nose with blackberry and raspberry confit scents, perhaps missing some vigor, but at least demonstrating Margaux-like character. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red fruit, fine tannin and good acidity, showing more elegance than many of its peers if never entertaining the notion of "complexity." Still, this underrated Margaux punches above my expectations from barrel and is worth a look.
