(2013) 13% abv. 65% Tannat, 10% Cabernet Franc, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. 12 months in oak barrels, 20% new. From a vintage generally regarded as of outstanding quality. A certain creaminess, a cedary finesse, and tobacco touches, there's a freshness here too. Delicious palate, the fruit concentration is lovely, but always retaining a crisp edge of acidity and very tight, lean tannins. A fine, structured wine with that great balance of medium body and some energy, and weight of concentration.
