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!
Dark red, black fruits, licorice, cocoa, fine soft tannins
Mørk rød. Duft av modne røde bær. Treverk og noe vanilje. Fin syre. Snerp: 7. Fin balanse. God lengde. 88/100Drakk flaske til middag på Chateau Grand Barrail.
Initially very light, very dry
