A tight package with broad shoulders and clear Bordeaux definition displaying a warm, ripe vintage. Deep ruby with violet shades and certain opaqueness. Evolving nose that morphs with air. Forest floor, black mushroom, leather, pencil lead, cedar and mocha opens from the glass. The palate is young, full of tannin, fruit extract and oak that need time to harmonize. Satisfy's now if your looking for chewy, funky, ripe your face Bordeaux. Drinks above the price. Hold till 2015 then drink till 2020. Tasted Sept '13
