easy drinking claret. Crisp & fresh with plum & cherry notes dominating the fruit profile, a touch or darker fruits emerge with coaxing. Fairly high acidity makes this a better wine to drink with food than to quaff solo but it's still pretty drinkable on its own. There isn't really enough depth of fruit to make it a keeper but some of the more prestigeous 2013 wines might prove those of us saying they're only for drinking in the short term wrong.

PnP - drinking very well. Very approachable, with light notes of leather and tobacco, with bramble, plum and a touch of cassis fruit. While it has the vintage trait of lacking depth of fruit, there's a nice freshness to the wine that makes for good drinking now and should drink well for the next 5 years without the fruit fading.

Mature Bordeau. Medium body, still fresh fruit, oak/vanilla as nice muted spice in background.
Quaffable!

Álcool alto, acidez média alta, dulçor baixo, corpo médio.
No nariz cereja, figo, licor de cassis, aroma de floresta. Na boca ameixa.

Same a blast note, though this one has left me with a headache the mornings after both evenings drunk, or maybe that's my one year old not sleeping!
