Not a proper note as drunk with friends at dinner but this is stately and correct claret that easily represents the best of why I love Bdx. Deep blackcurrant fruit. Cedar like oak. Structured and layered but not imposing. Moreish and rewarding to drink now but doubtless with another 10+ years in the tank. Good value for a little over £40 on offer.

Med Ruby Med+ intensity on the nose, very perfume after 1.5hour bottle decant. Red roses, red plum, pencil shaves, liquorice, toast, ginger spice, developing. Dry, high acidity, high tannins (velvety), med+ intensity, cranberry, tobacco, savoury, sea salt, lingering finish with a hints of caramel, med+ body, med+finish. Very elegant and balance wine.

Light to medium weight claret, savoury, slightly gravelly and a touch dilute. A decent effort for the vintage and pleasant to drink now, but not particularly good value. Should hold for a few years yet.

A good surprise and albeit still at the start of its dance this was just on point, with good fruit and well mannered wine across. Not a full note here but frankly nothing more to say than wait a bit longer and good value wine. 90

Medium to deep ruby. Medium body with some fruity nose and simple finish. It is a 2013, and I think that is just the way it is.
