90 Points

Thursday, April 7, 2022 - 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot

Deep dark red, compact rim, opaque.

Aromatics show soft but refreshing red fruit, perfume of cedary oak, dry Italian herb

Pleasantly tannic with grippy sensation, medium ripe sweet red fruits, cooking spices, underearth, clean finish.

It took about half an hour to open up. Initially, the wine was short, tart, and reductive. But after half an hour, it starts to shine. Ok for the vintage, however with the current price, it might not be the best QPR. '13 Bordeaux should be ready across the board now. Drink now and over the next 3-5 years before the fruits fade. 90.
