  Very difficult to judge right now. In the beginning rather weak and thin. Well, no surprise, it’s a weak vintage. A few hours later I tried again, now it was somehow better, but still no wow. After all, I still remain unsure, what to think about bdx 2013. I know that it was one of the seldom weak bdx vintages, but on the other hand, other so called weak bdx vintages like 2007 brought lots of pleasure.
  
  Will 2013 follow the path of 2007 (decent wine for a bargain) or will it be more like 1997 (only a very very few decent bdx)? Time will tell.

  Licorice, cherry, espresso and cocoa on the nose, and soft textures segue into a sweet and tart finish filled with cherry griotte. Blending 86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc, the wine reached 13.6% alcohol. The yields were 30 hectoliters per hectare. The wine is aging in 60% new French oak. 88-90 Pts
