May 25, 2016 - 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.

Could not agree more that those more modern and extracted styles (i.e. Bon Pasteur, Pape Clement, Smith Haut Lafitte but also Poyferre to a certain extent) worked quite well in the difficult 2013 vintage , but the overall assessment seems a bit harsh, no? Fairly complex for a BBQ wine...
