Orange peel, too. Some crushed stone. Bark. Stems. Iron shavings. Full-bodied, but very tight and compacted. The tannins are all here making it very structured, yet they are polished and melted together. Needs years to show all of its greatness. Incredible polish and structure. More structured than the 2019. Try after 2030 and beyond.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100 points — James Suckling, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jamessuckling.com\/\"\u003eJamesSuckling.com\u003c\/a\u003e, May 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis has grip and poise, it edges forward with slate textured tannins, not givin too much away at first, but sit with it, because the future brilliance of this Margaux is there to be seen if you take your time. It displays a seriousness of intent that sets it apart in expression from vintages like the 2018, and has dense and powerful red and black fruits along with supple and plentiful tannins that have no intention of relinquishing their hold for decades to come. Gingerbread, liqourice root, grilled sandalwood, red peppers, mint leaf and peony flowers add waves of complexity as it widens and softens through the mid palate, along with raspberry puree and edges of patisserie cream. A Margaux for the ages. 100% new oak, 36hl\/h yield after the dry summer.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100 points — Jane Anson, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/janeanson.com\/\"\u003eJaneAnson.com\u003c\/a\u003e, February 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur November Whisky of the Month, the peerless \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/glen-scotia-2013-bordeaux-single-cask\"\u003eGlen Scotia 2013 Bordeaux Single Cask\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, was created exclusively for The Whisky Club and finished in Premier Cru Bordeaux casks, which are as rare to find as these wines themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want \u003cem\u003ethe perfect\u003c\/em\u003e wine to drink alongside your Whisky of the Month, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can only get your hands on our prestigious single cask bottling of Glen Scotia this November 1—3, and only as a Whisky Club Member.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot yet a part of the Club?
