  Tasting Bordeaux 13-12-11-10 in Hong Kong (Visiting Vinexpo 2016, I finally tasted Bordeaux 2013s from bottle, plus earlier vintages): Well, well, well. See now, sometimes I feel that the "modernist" approach in weaker vintages can succeed such as in this case. Chateau rep Benoit Prevot nodded in approval, lol! Basically this has charm, ripe fruit and is an easy going pleasure to drink, say, at a barbecue.

  Nice nose of lactic and vanilla… hint of fruit, nice maturity, no tannins, but a bit light on its feet.

  Medium bodied, with a focus on the freshness in the plum and cherry fruit tones, there is an earthy note and a kiss of oak that adds to the overall complexity of this forward styled wine.

  One of the few noteworthy wines on the vintage. Warm bordeaux nose...Coffee, char, and earth. Good vibrance, good fruit, with descent cedar and graphite. Nice Pomerol! I would hold this for 3 years, but you can drink it now too. drink or Hold...
