This was actually better than what earlier notes led me to believe. It’s not a premium bottle obviously, but very decent and actually quite a bargain for the price. Smooth, reasonably tannic, quite fruity with red berries.

A week in Bordeaux (Mouton, Pontet Canet, D'Issan, Langoa & Leoville Barton, SHL, Arbo, Pavie, Fleur de Bouard, Cheval Blanc, VCC, Figeac); 5/21/2023-5/26/2023 (Left and Right banks of Bordeaux): Tasted @ the Chateau. I've had a few '13s on my trip to Bordeaux this week. I've changed my mind (slightly) about the '13 vintage as a few I've tasted were pretty decent. This wine from a challenging vintage showed well today. I think this wine is not for aging but will be drinkable for about 8-10 years. 91 with no upside.

Tasted at Chateau. Fresh, red fruited - sour red cherry - medium bodied, short finish with drying tannin dominating. Not very good!

Mørk rød.
Duft av modne røde bær. Treverk og noe vanilje. Fin syre. Snerp: 7. Fin balanse. God lengde.
88/100
Drakk flaske til middag på Chateau Grand Barrail.
