April 28, 2014 - Medium bodied, soft and fresh, this wine shows sweet cherries and espresso, more volume, flesh and complexity than the 2012. From a blend of 77% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine reached 13.5% alcohol and is aging in 80% new, French oak. 88-90 Pts

March 30, 2014 - 2013 editon of En Primeur - Kelly and Kevin’s excellent adventure; 3/26/2014-4/1/2014 (Mostly in Bordeaux and a night in Paris): Smoke, ripe blue fruits and lead pencil. Good concentration and nicely integrated tannins.

March 30, 2014 - First day of en primeur Bordeaux 2013 (Château Bellefont-Belcier): Now, some people will love the style, but I just think that the oak dominates far too much for this vintage's own good. Where will this wine be at age 10? I fear too much oak. But, let's just see this from bottle.
