Wednesday, October 26, 2016 - Annual Martel DRC Tasting: Vintage 2013: The oak is here dominating. Fruit in the background. Mineral and almost austere.
Immediately broader and juicier. The personality jumps out on the finish, firm, elegant and saline. Very subtle tannin.
Second sip:
A bit rounder than the Echezeaux, more balanced, but similarly powerful.
Beautiful progression towards red fruit and with balsamic tones.
