Medium-pale ruby red with pink-orange rim. Starting to turn garnet color. Redcurrant, raspberry, nectar, honeycomb, spices, cedar, mild baguette, mild tobacco, and dried flowers. Medium-full bodied, medium-high acidity, medium-high silky tannin, medium-high structure, medium alcohol and long finish. Complex, velvet, elegant and layered. Powerful and perfumed. Tertiary notes only beginning to emerge. Wonderful.

Required quite a bit of air to "loosen up" the "woody" frame. Preferred the '13 HD at this juncture which was more giving (as opposed to this being more "strict"). Detail notes may yet follow...

Nez fermier à l’ouverture, qui se dissipe, au profit d’un profil plus classique de fruits rouges et de conifères. Je suis étonné que la bouche montre encore des tanins fermes, laissant le fruit en plan. Il aurait peut-être mérité quelques heures d’aération. Je l’ai beaucoup mieux goûté en 2019-20.

Un nez de fruits rouges, vendanges entières aussi. Une bouche avec une belle acidité et un fruité un peu acidulé, frais et fin, bonne longueur, très bien, représentatif du millésime vs le cru selon moi. 91-92
Red fruit, whole clusters clearly with a palate that is fresh, nice fruit, good acidity, tangy red fruit with this nice finish, a wine that represents more 2013 then anything else in my opinion.
