  5/3/2024 - sterben Likes this wine:

  Ruby, some clearing at the rim. 2013 was a years with massive rain during the harvest in most of the left bank with diluted wines as a result. The 12,5% ABV is sort of a reminder of the good old days of bordeaux.
  
  At opening the wine is a bit angular with pronounced overpowering grainy tannins.
  
  The nose is not too powerful, but nice forest floor, pencil shavings, faint red fruit.
  
  After a while in the glass (30 minutes) it has a gentle cassis and currant leaf profile, approachable with good acid structure. A light styled wine.
  
  Maybe too technical for most, there are better options if you're out to get a broad shouldered powerhouse of a wine. Pleasantly surprised, 11 EUR.

  Aerated for 30-minutes. Dark rusty colour, shows quite a bit of age. Reasonably complex bouquet with cedar wood, dill and parsley, round and juicy red fruits, slight museum oak and mossy forest floor. Medium bodied palate with decent balance and good finish. Certainly on the light side for a LB Bordeaux, but a good deal. Like an AI-tech stock it's got nowhere to go but down from here. Drink now.
