A cold & wet year, close or at its peak, so I've been told.

This was incredible. A wine that struck a perfect balance between structure and slurpability.. It's a word now

Very beautiful bright and transparent garnet color. Surprisingly well ripe fresh red and dark berries nose and palate. Very juicy at first but dark berries and tannin become stronger after short glass breathing. It is better to drink in lower temperature after short chilling unlike typical Bordeaux blend red wines. It is a good wine but a little expensive though.
