The 2013 (5*) is a top vintage. Fermented in seasoned French oak barrels (one year and older), it is bright, light lemon/green, weighty, rich and youthful. A powerful, sweet-fruited wine with a slightly smoky bouquet, it has deep, ripe stone-fruit flavours, slightly buttery and toasty, good complexity, and a well-rounded finish. Best drinking mid-2015+.
