Community Tasting Note

96 Points

Friday, June 21, 2013 - One of the best from this problematic vintage. Deep ruby core, medium ruby rim. On the nose, still a lot of dark fruit, rose petal, violet, caramel, slight hint of barnyard, adding to the complexity. It still shows a lot of freshness, especially compared with the Mouton 2003, tasted side by side. Big, powerful but supple tannins. Long finish. Drinking very well now, but can hold easily for another 10 years because of its structure. Will improve.
