La Croix Baraillet 2008 Margaux AOC, the special cuvee of Chateau Desmirail 4th Growth Margaux, gives slightly more power and structure for the class. Nose is similar to the first wine Chateau Desmirail; but this needs more air to level out the apparent high alcohol level. Inky dark and bright red fruit, as well as a rich, plummy palate with silky finish should be the reward of that patience well spent. DD90.
