2013 opened March 2024. Intense scent of leather on the nose, cherries and Cassis on the front. Bold tannic structure. Lots of high notes on the finish, but there’s a distinctive, bitter undertone that accompanies the high notes. I could do without that bitterness. I’d rate this wine higher if it weren’t there. The finish is long. Interesting that it fades, but comes back when one swallows again after tasting.
